The two respective parts of this question are being interpreted as referring to cases in the Garston and Halewood constituency, since April 2013, where individuals experienced the following sequence of events:<\/p>

<\/p>

a) The number of individuals in receipt of the higher rate mobility<\/em> component of Disability Living Allowance (DLA), and specifically using this for the Motability Scheme, that then underwent a Reassessment from DLA to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) where their PIP initial decision did not award them the enhanced rate mobility component, which therefore meant they were no longer eligible for the Motability Scheme.<\/p>

<\/p>

b) The number of individuals from Part A<\/em> that subsequently proceeded to lodge an appeal against the initial decision made at their Reassessment, and upon completing the appeal they saw the decision overturned where the post-appeal PIP award specifically included the enhanced rate mobility component, thus seeing them once again entitled to the Motability Scheme.<\/p>

The Government is taking a strong national leadership role to improve air quality and is providing financial and expert support to local authorities to develop innovative plans to tackle local air pollution.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government\u2019s Air Quality Grant Programme provides funding to local authorities for projects in local communities to reduce emissions which may include action targeting schools.<\/p>

<\/p>

For example, over £3m in Air Quality Grant funding was awarded to local authorities in March 2018 for projects in local communities to tackle air pollution and reduce emissions affecting schools, businesses and residents.<\/p>

Local authorities are required to provide sufficient funds to enable schools to meet the cost of additional support for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), up to the value of £6,000. This funding comes from the schools block of the Dedicated Schools Grant.<\/p>

When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEND exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This top-up funding, and funding for special schools comes from the local authority\u2019s high needs budget. In 2020-21, the department will provide more than £700 million, an 11% increase in one year, in additional high needs funding, bringing the national high needs funding total to over £7 billion. Every local authority will receive a minimum increase of 8% per head of their population aged 2-18 years old. The department will provide provisional allocations to local authorities in October.<\/p>

Below we have provided the schools and high needs funding allocations for 2015-16 to 2019-20 for Yorkshire and the Humber, York, and England. We have also provided the total number of children with both SEND support and education, health and care plans, although this does not include young people in further education. The department also does not hold specific figures on how much of each local authority\u2019s schools\u2019 budget has been spent on SEND.<\/p>
