answer text <p>I have asked Ofsted to respond using the data they hold on registered nursery places. Sir Michael Wilshaw, Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, will write to the hon. Gentleman, and a copy of his response will be placed in the House Library. Some providers, such as schools with nursery provision for children aged three or over, are exempt from registration. The number of places therefore may not include the full range of early years provision available in the area.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Education’s Childcare and Early Years Providers Survey[1] collects data on all registered childcare places, including those in maintained schools and nurseries. These figures are therefore more comprehensive than the Ofsted figures; however data is only available at a national and regional level and in this case only for the North East, Yorkshire and Humberside.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2011" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-and-early-years-providers-survey-2011</a></p>

answer text <p>The Highways Agency is responsible for the motorway and strategic trunk road network. There have been no Major Road Schemes in the Harrogate and Knaresborough constituency during the last four years.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the investment in the two Major Road Schemes that are in the North Yorkshire area. Please note the 14/15 expenditure includes actual spend to the end of June 2014 and a forecast up to and including the end of March 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td>Scheme</td><td>11/12</td><td>12/13</td><td>13/14</td><td>14/15</td><td>Estimated total</td></tr><tr><td> </td><td>Actual £m</td><td>Actual £m</td><td>Actual £m</td><td>Forecast £m</td><td>out-turn cost £m</td></tr><tr><td>A1 Dishforth to Leeming</td><td>80.4</td><td>6.0</td><td>-5.9*</td><td>1.9</td><td>311</td></tr><tr><td>A1 Dishforth to Barton</td><td>0.1</td><td>3.1</td><td>35.7</td><td>90.8</td><td>380</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>*The -5.9 reported in 13/14, is made up of a change in accounting policy and a reduction in the provision for post construction activity.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Highways Agency does not separately identify the investment on its roads by constituency area. The Highways Agency has invested approximately £33 million on safety and improvement schemes, renewal of carriageway surfaces and repairs to structures in the North Yorkshire region within the last four years. The breakdown of investment by financial year is shown in the following table:</p><table><tbody><tr><td>Year</td><td>Investment £m</td></tr><tr><td>2010/11</td><td>5.211</td></tr><tr><td>2011/12</td><td>4.261</td></tr><tr><td>2012/13</td><td>10.791</td></tr><tr><td>2013/14</td><td>12.438</td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>For the local road network the Department for Transport provides capital funding to local highway authorities for maintenance. The Harrogate and Knaresborough constituency falls within North Yorkshire County Council’s area of responsibility and therefore we do not allocate any funds directly to that area for local road infrastructure. Over the four year period from 2011 North Yorkshire County Council’s allocation is:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td><p>Allocation £m</p><p> </p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td><p>25.252</p><p> </p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td><p>24.065</p><p> </p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14<sup>1</sup></p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td><p>29.002</p><p> </p><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15<sup>2</sup></p><p> </p><p> </p></td><td><p>27.855</p><p> </p><p> </p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>1 Includes the top up announced in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement 2012 and the Wet Weather funding paid in March 2014.</p><p>2 Includes the top up announced in the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement 2012 and the Pothole Fund.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport is funding one local major scheme in North Yorkshire, the Bedale Aiskew Leeming Bar Bypass which has £10.760m of funding in 2014/15.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
