The Help to Buy scheme continues to support responsible lending with the average property value considerably less than the national average. The average house price under the scheme as a whole is around £190,000, compared to the national average of £272,000.<\/p>

<\/p>

Over 50,000 households have benefitted from the scheme to date. The scheme is supporting lending in all regions and over 94% of mortgages bought under the scheme have been outside London. Mortgage completions have been particularly high in the North West and Scotland.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government publishes quarterly Official Statistics relating to the Help to Buy: mortgage guarantee scheme. The most recent of these were published on 2 September.<\/p>

This report, along with accompanying tables, can be found at: www.gov.uk/government/statistics/help-to-buy-mortgage-guarantee-scheme-quarterly-statistics-october-2013-to-june-2014<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The Government also publishes monthly statistics on the number of homes purchased with the support of the Help to Buy: Equity Loan scheme, by local authority in England.

As outlined in the Written Ministerial Statement of 18 September 2012, Official Report, Column 32WS, the Department no longer publishes statistics by government office region. Additionally, the Department does not collect data on a constituency basis, but Barnsley East constituency lies entirely within the Barnsley Metropolitan District. Table 1 shows, where available, the estimated number of properties that will benefit from each of the reliefs introduced or extended in 2014-15 in Barnsley Metropolitan District, as well as the amount of relief awarded:<\/p>

Additional sites are places open to families and children providing Children's Centre services as part of a network. They were formerly children's centres in their own right and, while they no longer meet the statutory definition of a Children\u2019s Centre, they remain open offering access to some of the early childhood services on behalf of another children's centre.<\/p>

The April 2010 data was published in the statistical release in June 2010.[1]<\/p>

The number of children\u2019s centres at 30 September 2014 is taken from the \u2018Sure Start On\u2019 database that is maintained by local authorities and is Ofsted\u2019s main source of information for arranging inspection of children\u2019s centres.<\/p>

Statistics on children\u2019s centre numbers were last published by the Department on 30 April and relate to data at 28 February and include the numbers for each local authority.[2]<\/p>

The data from the \u2018Sure Start On\u2019 database informs the Directgov children\u2019s centre finder which enables the public to find their nearest children\u2019s centre using a post code search. [3]<\/p>

The Government recognises the long-term impact of child maltreatment. We are committed to safeguarding children from abuse and maltreatment, and our approach is based on prevention, using effective multi-agency working to protect children from harm. This approach is at the heart of our statutory guidance, \u2018Working Together to Safeguard Children\u2019, published in 2013, which sets out the roles and responsibilities of all relevant services, and how they should work together.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1605", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Timpson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Crewe and Nantwich"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Timpson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-14T15:09:32.998623Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Offences against Children"} , "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 assessment she has made of the implications for her Department's policies of the recommendation of the World Health Organisations' European report on preventing child maltreatment, published in 2013, that national governments adopt a preventative and public health approach to child maltreatment.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "209349"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&max-ddpCreated=2014-10-14T21%3A01%3A48.287Z&min-ddpModified=2015-02-07T23%3A33%3A39.373Z&dateTabled=2014-09-26", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 418, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
