answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2018 answer text <p>The cross-government care leaver strategy ‘Keep on Caring’ was published in July 2016. This confirmed that funding for Staying Put would continue to be paid to local authorities until the end of the Spending Review period. It also confirmed that the funding would be up-rated by 2% each year to take inflation into account. The amount of funding is therefore £23.3 million for the period 2018 to 2019 and £23.77 million for the period 2019 to 2020. Funding beyond March 2020 will be subject to the outcome of the next Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 19/07/2018 17:09:14 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
