The Department primarily allocates revenue funding for schools at local authority level. Individual schools\u2019 allocations are determined according to the local formula set by the local authority, in consultation with schools. It remains our intention that every school\u2019s budget should be set on the basis of a single, national formula, but we believe a period of transition will provide greater stability for schools.<\/p>

Revenue funding for schools allocated by the Department to Leicester, Leicestershire, and England in each year since 2013-14 is shown in the table below:<\/p>

Note that, in 2017-18, the balance between the Schools Block and High Needs block for every local authority was re-balanced, to reflect previous years\u2019 decisions on the local distribution of spending between schools, high needs and early years. In the case of Leicestershire, total funding increased in that year from £422.79m in 2016-17 to £431.44m in 2017-18.<\/p>

Prior to 2013-14, the Department did not break the dedicated schools grant (DSG) into specific blocks. Total DSG allocations for the years 2010-11, 2011-12 and 2012-13 are shown below, but these figures are not comparable to those above because they cover schools, high needs and early years funding.<\/p>

Funding for 2019-20 will be determined later this year, on the basis of the October 2018 census. The Department published notional allocations, based on 2017-18 pupil numbers and characteristics, alongside the outcome to the national funding formula consultation in September 2017.

Following the Grenfell Tower tragedy we have been working urgently to identify any other buildings over 18 metres with potentially unsafe aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding.

Tax data from residential property gains is not readily available because, historically, it has not been collected separately as part of Self Assessment returns.

The government remains committed to increasing the PA to £12,500 by 2020-21. The estimated Exchequer impact of freezing the personal allowance at £12,500 and freezing the higher-rate threshold at £50,000 in 2021-22 and 2022-23 is:<\/p>

Figures have been rounded to the nearest £100 million. Therefore the modelling simulation above has been repeated with the PA set to £12,500 in 2020-21, frozen thereafter (the HRT was as in the £12,000 scenario above).<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>

<\/p>

Both of these estimates are sensitive to any changes in the projected economic determinants used, and modelling assumptions, and are therefore subject to revision.<\/p>

<\/p>

[<\/del>To answer this question a number of assumptions have been made as set out below. These estimates are consistent with the methodology used to estimate the impact of policy changes to Income Tax and National Insurance Contributions (NICs).<\/p>

<\/p>

The question implies that the Personal Allowance (PA) and Higher Rate Threshold (HRT) would be at the stated levels in 2020-21 in order that they be frozen at those levels (rather than indexed with Consumer Price Index (CPI) indexation as is the convention) for the years after that.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Exchequer impact of meeting the thresholds in 2020-21 has is not included in these figures.<\/p>

<\/p>

The estimated impact from freezing the PA and HRT has been modelled using the 2014-15 Survey of Personal Incomes projected using assumptions from the Office of Budget Responsibility\u2019s November 2017 economic and fiscal outlook. The costs set out below include assumptions on the likely behavioral responses of affected taxpayers, which is in line with previous similar costings agreed with the OBR.<\/p>

<\/p>

The costing include the impact on NICs, as the Upper Earnings Limit and Upper Profits Limit are aligned to the Higher Rate Threshold which has been frozen at £50,000 for this policy.<\/p>

<\/p>

The simulation assumes the HRT freeze does not apply in Scotland where this threshold is devolved. Therefore the Scottish Basic Rate Limit (BRL) is amended to maintain the Scottish HRT at the current projected levels after any changes to the PA. The simulation includes an estimate for the change in the Scottish block grant adjustment under this policy change scenario.<\/p>

We have announced details of the final National Funding Formula for schools, which will be implemented from 2018-19. Under the new formula, schools in Harborough constituency will receive £66.3 million in 2018-19; they would receive £68.0 million in 2019-20 if there were no changes in pupil numbers or characteristics. This is an increase of 3.2% in 2018-19 and 5.8% in 2019-20, compared to their 2017-18 baseline. Schools in England will receive £33.2 billion in 2018-19 and would receive £33.6 billion in 2019-20, on the assumption of no changes in pupil numbers or characteristics. Budgets after 2019-20 will be determined in a future spending review.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-22T18:03:54.467Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Schools: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding has been allocated to secondary and primary schools in (a) Harborough constituency and (b) England as a result of the national funding formula in each year since the formula's implementation.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4679", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil O'Brien"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harborough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Neil O'Brien"} ], "uin" : "120319"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/809701", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/809701/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The 2017-18 baseline funding is £3,983 per pupil in the Harborough constituency, and £4,497 per pupil in England as a whole. Under the National Funding Formula, per pupil funding would rise to £4,215 in Harborough by 2019-20 (an increase of 5.8%), and to £4,635 in England by 2019-20 (an increase of 3.1%). These amounts are based on existing pupil data, which will be subject to change as the pupil population changes. Local areas will continue to set local formulae to allocate money to their schools in 2018-19 and 2019-20, so individual school budgets may differ from the notional amounts published in September.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-12-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-12-22T18:08:44.96Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-12-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Schools: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the 2017-18 baseline is for school funding for secondary and primary schools in (a) Harborough constituency and (b) England; and what estimate he has made of that baseline for 2019-20 as a result of the National Funding Formula.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4679", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Neil O'Brien"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harborough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Neil O'Brien"} ], "uin" : "120321"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/809708", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/809708/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

    We believe that Shared Ownership has an important role to play as part of a diverse and thriving housing market and since 2010 around 54,000 new Shared Ownership homes have been delivered.<\/p>

    We continue to work with the sector and lenders to ensure that Shared Ownership continues to be attractive to investment and have made a number of changes to support this, including expanding the Affordable Homes Programme from £7 billion to over £9 billion, standardising eligibility for buyers and extending funding for development to private providers.<\/p>
