answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The Department’s assessment of the business case for the Crossing, which included a consideration of the overall effects of tolling levels on road users, showed that the new Crossing will reduce congestion and improve journey times for users. Tolling levels for the new Mersey Gateway Crossing are the responsibility of Halton Borough Council. Any assessment of the local impact of these tolls is therefore a matter for the Council rather than this Department.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/09/2017 09:42:11 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government will be investing £1 billion extra every year in the early years entitlements, including over £300 million a year to increase our hourly funding rates. This increased level of funding is based on our comprehensive “Review of Childcare Costs” which looked at both the current costs of childcare provision and the implications of future cost pressures including the National Living Wage. The Review was described as “thorough and wide ranging” by the National Audit Office.</p><p> </p><p>Under our new early years national funding formula, we are allocating funding fairly and transparently, so that early years providers can deliver free childcare on a sustainable and high-quality basis in all areas of England. We have also legislated to ensure that local authorities pass on at least 93% of their Government funding to early years providers. Providers in the vast majority of local authorities will have seen funding increases this year and we are also providing guidance, tools and support for providers to help make their businesses more sustainable and efficient.</p><p> </p><p>Our recently published independent evaluation of the early rollout of 30 hours childcare programme shows that over 80% of providers were willing and able to offer the extended hours. The report is available at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-rollout-of-30-hours-free-childcare-evaluation" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-rollout-of-30-hours-free-childcare-evaluation</a>.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/09/2017 06:29:09 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
