answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>We have committed an extra £14 billion to schools in England over the next three years. This will bring the schools budget to £52.2 billion in 2022-23. This will allow funding increases for all schools. In particular, every secondary school will receive a minimum of at least £5,000 per pupil next year, with every primary school getting a minimum of at least £4,000 from 2021-22. This is the largest cash boost in a generation and has only been possible because of our balanced approach to the public finances and careful stewardship of the economy since 2010.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 09/09/2019 12:54:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2019 answer text <p>Income from the Victim Surcharge contributes to the Ministry of Justices’ Victim and Witness Budget (“the Budget”). This budget is used to fund Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) who commission local support services for victims, and nationally commissioned support services including the National Homicide Service, Rape Support Centres, and the Court Based Witness Service. Income from the Victim Surcharge is forecast into the Budget at the beginning of each financial year. However, actual income raised from the Surcharge will fluctuate each year (depending on the amount imposed and collection rates). Should revenue raised from the Surcharge go above the forecast amount, the excess is put towards compensating victims through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Overall amounts are set out in the table below:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong> Victim Surcharge (VS) Collected *</strong><strong><strong>[1]</strong></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>VS contribution to the Victim and Witness Budget*</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Overall Victim and Witness Budget*</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>£1<ins class="ministerial">1</ins><del class="ministerial">0</del>m</p></td><td><p>£1<ins class="ministerial">1</ins><del class="ministerial">0</del>m</p></td><td><p>£48m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>£10m</p></td><td><p>£10m</p></td><td><p>£48m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>£1<ins class="ministerial">1</ins><del class="ministerial">0</del>m</p></td><td><p>£1<ins class="ministerial">1</ins><del class="ministerial">0</del>m</p></td><td><p>£50m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£<ins class="ministerial">20</ins><del class="ministerial">19</del>m</p></td><td><p>£<ins class="ministerial">20</ins><del class="ministerial">19</del>m</p></td><td><p>£57m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£2<ins class="ministerial">5</ins><del class="ministerial">4</del>m</p></td><td><p>£2<ins class="ministerial">5</ins><del class="ministerial">4</del>m</p></td><td><p>£86m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>£28m</p></td><td><p>£18m</p></td><td><p>£92m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>£31m</p></td><td><p>£2<ins class="ministerial">7</ins><del class="ministerial">6</del>m</p></td><td><p>£96m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>£35m</p></td><td><p>£31m</p></td><td><p>£97m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>*The amounts listed in the table have been rounded to the nearest £1<del class="ministerial">0</del>m.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 17/05/2019 12:31:20 question first ministerially corrected 08/10/2019 15:14:33 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer previous answer version 118662 answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland answering member 4106
