answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2021 answer text <p>The Government has made clear that no one should be without a roof over their head, which is why we have committed to end rough sleeping. In total, we are spending over £700 million in 2020/21 on homelessness and rough sleeping.</p><p>We are also putting in place an unprecedented level of support to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over 2021/22. This includes £676 million in resource funding, a 60% increase compared to the Spending Review in 2019.</p><p>The Government will also commit £87 million of capital funding in 2021/22, primarily to support the delivery of long-term accommodation for rough sleepers as announced at Budget 2020. This means the Government will be spending over £750m to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping next year.</p><p>Redbridge has had significant investment as part of this and has been receiving Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI) funding since the launch of the programme in 2018, including £625,000 for 2020/21. The MHCLG adviser teams are currently working closely with Redbridge to develop interventions for the next RSI bidding round in 2021/22.</p><p>Redbridge also received £216,000 in funding through the Protect Programme this winter which has enabled them to support their most vulnerable and longer-term rough sleepers, as well as £140,000 through the Cold Weather Fund. They received £5,257,937 for 2021/22 through the Homelessness Prevention Grant. They were also successful in the last Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme (RSAP) bidding round and are currently working on mobilising these units.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 10/03/2021 16:48:46 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2021 answer text <p>As announced by my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, the £300 million funding for tutoring represents additional funding from Her Majesty’s Treasury, including a contribution to support the academic elements of secondary level summer schools.</p><p>Elsewhere, the package makes available a further £400 million across the 2021-22 academic year. While over half of this is new funding, the Department has contributed towards the cost of this package through reprioritising funding from within the Department’s existing budgets. This includes funding from unallocated headroom where adjustments to forecasts have enabled us to release additional resources. Where we have identified additional resources, it is right that we have prioritised them to the front line.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 05/03/2021 13:12:53 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2021 answer text <p>£200 million will be specifically available to secondary schools to deliver a face to face summer programme.

We are investing in summer schools as part of the targeted offer to young people who will most benefit.</p><p>Schools will be able to target provision based on pupils’ needs although we suggest they may want initially to target incoming Year 7 pupils. This is alongside wider support funded through our Holiday Activities and Food Programme across the country.</p><p>The Department will ensure that funding is available for all secondary schools that wish to run a summer school provision, including middle schools and we will apply extra weighting to fund special and alternative provision schools.</p><p>The Department will provide details of how the funds will be allocated in due course, ensuring that schools have adequate time to plan ahead for the summer provision.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 01/03/2021 18:35:36 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2021 answer text <p>Schools’ allocations from the Recovery Premium are calculated based on the numbers of their pupils who are eligible for the pupil premium. This will provide each mainstream school with a total of £145 for each eligible pupil and special, alternative provision, hospital schools and special units within mainstream schools, with £290 for each eligible pupil, across the 2021/22 academic year. We have applied additional weighting to specialist settings, recognising the significantly higher per pupil costs they face.</p><p>Recognising the uneven distribution of pupil premium eligible pupils, we have also ensured that no primary school will receive less than £2,000 and no secondary school will receive less than £6,000. The average primary school will receive almost £6,000 and the average secondary school just over £22,000</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/03/2021 18:10:55 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
