Parliament made it an offence to deliver, without reasonable excuse, donation reports that are inaccurate or miss the statutory deadline. Parliament also gave the Commission investigation and sanction powers for these, and other, offences.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission has powers to impose a variable monetary penalty where it is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that a person has committed a prescribed offence or contravention under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The Commission takes decisions on sanctions in line with its Enforcement Policy. This document was the result of a public consultation and is available on its website; I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Library.</p><p>The Commission has called for an increase to the maximum penalty it can impose on political parties and others for offences or contraventions under the political finance rules. The Commission’s view is that the current maximum fine of £20,000 per offence could be seen as a cost of doing business, and that monetary penalties should be more proportionate to the income and expenditure of larger and well-funded parties and campaigners.</p> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 07/01/2019 09:25:21 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>The table below sets out the funding allocated to South Gloucestershire to fund schools in the years requested. It also sets out the high needs funding given to the local authority, which is for pupils with complex special educational needs and disabilities. Some of this funding goes to mainstream schools to help them meet the needs of these pupils.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Schools block allocation </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>High needs allocation</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017-18[1]</p></td><td><p>£151.15 million</p></td><td><p>£29.66 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19[1]</p></td><td><p>£151.19 million</p></td><td><p>£31.04 million</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019-20 (illustrative)[2]</p></td><td><p>£154.76 million</p></td><td><p>£31.33 million</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>In addition to the funding allocated through the national funding formula, schools will receive funding from specific grants - for example, through the pupil premium, or the PE and sports premium.</p><p>Local authorities remain responsible for setting school budgets at a local level, and individual schools may see their funding change due to changing pupil numbers or characteristics, or changes in how the local authority distributes funding.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Figures are from the Schools Block of the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) for 2017-18 and 2018-19. In addition, the national funding formula (NFF) came into force in April 2018 for the 2018-19 financial year, so South Gloucestershire’s 2017-18 allocation was not calculated using the national funding formula.</p><p>[2] Figures are from the NFF allocations published in July 2018 for 2019-20. DSG figures for 2019-20 as these are not yet published. 2019-20 NFF figures are illustrative because they will be updated to reflect the latest pupil numbers when the 2019-20 DSG allocations are confirmed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/12/2018 16:35:52 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
