uin	278884
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains our priority, but as a responsible Government we've been preparing for nearly three years to minimise disruption in the event of no deal.</p><p>We have over 300 work streams looking at specific no deal plans across a range of sectors and these are well advanced. There is still some work to be done but departments are making sensible decisions about prioritisation.</p><p>Departments report progress delivering each workstream on a regular basis. DExEU aggregates the cross-Government picture of readiness and provides regular updates to Ministers. This allows for the swift resolution of barriers to improve the Government’s overall preparedness for exit.</p><p>As you might expect, these aggregate assessments of Government preparedness are exceptionally sensitive. If our overall assessment - or the underlying data - were made public, both our negotiating position and our ability to manage delivery across the programme would be significantly damaged.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 23/07/2019 09:27:36 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

uin	278326
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text <p>If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the UK will implement the temporary tariff which will apply to all trade from partners not subject to alternative trade arrangements. This policy seeks to balance the impact on consumers from price rises and on producers from exposure to global competition. Under the temporary tariff, over 90% of imports by value currently entering the UK from outside the EU will be liberalised, rising from over 50%.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to tariffs, prices for imported goods depend on various factors, including exchange rate fluctuations, shipping costs and on various non-tariff barriers. Given the range of issues affecting prices, the Government does not attempt to estimate goods prices.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 22/07/2019 11:03:31 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

uin	278328
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2019 answer text <p>Between 2015-16 and 2019-20 the government has made a significant investment in schools, with core schools funding growing by nearly £4 billion.</p><p>The table below shows the average funding per secondary pupil we have allocated to local authorities in England through the schools block of the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) for 2018-19 and 2019-20.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Schools block secondary unit of funding (SUF)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2018-19</strong></p></td><td><p>£5,228.74</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2019-20</strong></p></td><td><p>£5,294.78</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Before 2018-19, the Department did not distinguish between phases when allocating funding to local authorities through the DSG. Each local authority will have set their own funding rates for secondary pupils for each year in this period. The average funding per pupil (schools block unit of funding) for the period between 2014-15 and 2017-18 is available in the table below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Schools block unit of funding (SBUF)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014-15</strong></p></td><td><p>£4,555.02</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015-16</strong></p></td><td><p>£4,612.11</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016-17</strong></p></td><td><p>£4,636.43</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017-18</strong></p></td><td><p>£4,618.63</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The drop in schools block per pupil funding between 2016-17 and 2017-18 is due to local authorities re-baselining funding between the DSG blocks, resulting in funding moving from the schools block into the high needs block.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to schools block funding, schools also receive funding from separate funding streams and additional grants, such as the central schools services, and the high needs blocks of the DSG, as well as the Pupil Premium.</p><p>Local authorities continue to be responsible for distributing funding to schools in their local area, which they will have determined through their own local formulae. As a result, the Department does not hold any analysis of this data in order to provide the maximum and average change per secondary pupil at school level as requested. The Department publishes schools block allocations for individual maintained schools and academies online, which can be accessed at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/schools-block-funding-allocations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/schools-block-funding-allocations</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 24/07/2019 11:31:10 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

In 2019-20 the minimum per pupil funding level for secondary schools is £4,800.
