answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>Set out in section 507B of the Education Act 1996, Local Authorities have a statutory duty to ‘secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision of educational and recreational leisure-time activities for young people’. This is funded from the Local Government settlement, the majority of which is un-ringfenced, allowing local authorities to spend on services according to local priorities, including on youth services.</p><p>Details of all Local Authorities annual spending on youth services can be found in Section 251 data published on gov.uk. Funding is not allocated by the Parliamentary constituency and as such the data will not provide a figure for the Enfield North constituency.</p><p>The Government recognises the vital role that youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people. In England, between 2015 - 2021, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), including the National Citizen Service (NCS) Trust, has provided over £1.1 billion to the youth sector. During this Spending Review Period, DCMS is investing over £500 million in youth services to deliver the National Youth Guarantee, a government commitment that by 2025, every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 24/04/2023 11:33:24 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>The Government has not set targets for chargepoint provision per region or local area because the exact number and type of chargepoints will be highly dependent on local circumstances, future charging behaviour and the future development of electric vehicle technology. Local authorities have a key role to play as they are best placed to consider local needs. We will require all local transport authorities in England to develop their own chargepoint strategies, subject to consultation.</p><p> </p><p>To date, the London Borough of Enfield has been awarded £72,000 to deliver 32 public chargepoints through the On Street Residential Chargepoint Scheme. So far, 23 completed chargepoints have been installed which were funded through this scheme.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/04/2023 09:48:33 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
