uin	192820
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The Statement of Intent on the EU Settlement Scheme published on 21 June 2018 made clear that the UK has decided, as a matter of domestic policy, to be more generous than the draft Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union in certain respects. In particular, those applying under the scheme will not generally be required to show that they are exercising their rights under the Free Movement Directive (2004/38/EC). This means that an applicant will not be refused status under the scheme because for example they are not economically active, their employment is not full-time or they do not hold comprehensive sickness insurance.</p><p>However, the draft Withdrawal Agreement does not protect those who are not exercising or are misusing free movement rights. This means that, while free movement rules continue to operate to the end of the planned implementation period, there will remain scope, as a matter of law, for a person to be removed from the UK on those grounds. It is logical that this is reflected in the Immigration Rules for the EU Settlement Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 22/11/2018 14:14:32 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

tabling member constituency	Dulwich and West Norwood
tabling member printed	Helen Hayes
uin	192823
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>Local authorities are required to provide schools with sufficient funds of up to £6,000 per pupil, to enable them to meet the additional costs of those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The local authority can also give additional funding from its high needs budget to schools that have a disproportionate number of pupils with SEND, whose additional support costs up to £6,000.</p><p>When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with special educational needs exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This funding comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. This year, high needs budgets total just under £6 billion across England, a £142 million increase since last year. This is explained in the high needs funding operational guide, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-needs-funding-arrangements-2018-to-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/high-needs-funding-arrangements-2018-to-2019</a>.</p><p>However, we recognise that there is pressure on schools to do more, which is why we have taken steps to help them get the best value for every pound. We also recognise that local authorities are experiencing cost pressures on high needs and are keeping the overall level of funding for high needs under review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 22/11/2018 14:15:32 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

In doing so, I misspoke. I should instead have used the words “financial support”. I am sorry for any confusion this may have caused in the House. I am happy to make that clarification, and the record has been corrected to reflect this.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 22/11/2018 17:41:01 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
