answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2022 answer text <p>Children’s social care in Northern Ireland is a transferred power, making it a devolved matter. This answer reflects the position in England. The 2021 Spending Review and Local Government Finance Settlement makes available £54.1 billion for 2022/23 for local government in England, an increase of up to £3.7 billion on 2021/22. This significant investment is largely un-ringfenced in recognition that local leaders know the priorities for their local communities best. The Government has also provided an additional £200 million for Supporting Families. This represents around a 40% real-terms uplift in funding for the programme by 2024-25, taking total planned investment across the next three years to £695 million. This significant investment into early help services comes in advance of Josh MacAlister’s independent review of children’s social care, which will report in the Spring. The Government will consider any recommendations carefully.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 18/03/2022 14:43:37 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

uin	136557
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2022 answer text <p>As the global economy recovers from COVID-19, many economies are experiencing high inflation, in part due to pressures from rising energy prices and disruptions to global supply chains. The economic impact from the Russian invasion of Ukraine is uncertain but is adding to inflationary pressure. The Government is working with international partners to tackle global supply chain disruption and is providing support worth over £20 billion across this financial year and next that will help families with the cost of living. This includes a £9.1 billion package announced in February 2022 to help households with rising energy bills.</p><p> </p><p>Monetary policy is the responsibility of the independent Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Bank of England, which has the primary objective of maintaining price stability. Since the MPC has become responsible for controlling inflation it has averaged close to the 2% target. The Government’s commitment to price stability remains absolute.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 17/03/2022 12:40:23 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
