Sanctions are at their most effective when countries work together. We continue to work closely with G7 and other partners to ensure our sanctions have the maximum impact on Russia, including by restricting the energy revenues fuelling its war machine. The Government has already taken action to that end.<\/p>

At the recent European Political Community Summit, the UK secured the agreement of 44 European countries plus the European Union to work together to disrupt and deter Russia's 'shadow fleet', which is undermining our sanctions and poses environmental and security threats. We continue to explore a range of options to deepen our sanctions regime, and enforcement, including in the energy sector.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4264", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Stephen Doughty"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff South and Penarth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Stephen Doughty"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-07-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-07-25T14:57:24.167Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Russia: Oil"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will hold discussions with his international counterparts on helping to implement sanctions on Russian crude oil exports.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/5199", "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "York Outer"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Luke Charters"} ], "uin" : "1063"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1722630", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1722630/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The table below provides per-pupil funding units from 2018/19 to 2023/24, which represents the funding provided for schools in Nottinghamshire each year in the schools block of the dedicated schools grant (DSG).<\/p>

<\/p>

The department cannot provide comparable funding for Nottinghamshire back to 2010, due to the changes in the funding system since that time. The scope of the per-pupil funding before and after 2018/19 are not directly comparable. In particular, the central services provided by local authorities were split out from the schools block funding in 2018/19, and instead funded separately through the central school services block from that year onwards.<\/p>

<\/p>

The figures in the table below are provided on a cash basis. The department also publishes real-terms statistics on schools funding at the national level, which does not distinguish by phase. The department uses the GDP deflator to calculate real-terms funding levels. These can be found here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-funding-statistics<\/a> and https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/school-funding-statistics-methodology<\/a>.<\/p>

The last local area special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) inspection by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) for Nottinghamshire was in February 2023. Following the inspection, the department is closely monitoring the areas for priority action and improvement that were identified by inspectors and the progress made by children and young people with SEND, and has appointed a SEND adviser to support the local area SEND partnership. Nottinghamshire County Council is committed to working closely with the department to improve services and has established an independently chaired improvement board and published a SEND priority action plan to address the issues identified in the inspection report. An Ofsted and CQC monitoring inspection will be carried out approximately 18 months after the initial inspection and the next full area SEND inspection will take place within approximately three years.<\/p>

<\/p>

This government\u2019s ambition is that all children and young people with SEND or in alternative provision receive the right support to succeed in their education and as they move into adult life. The department is committed to taking a community-wide approach in collaboration with local area partnerships to improving inclusivity and expertise in mainstream schools, and to ensuring special schools cater to those with the most complex needs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4125", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Catherine McKinnell"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Catherine McKinnell"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-07-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-07-29T14:07:39.017Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Special Educational Needs: Nottinghamshire"} , "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 recent assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of the provision of special education needs and disability (SEND) services for children in Nottinghamshire; and what steps she plans to take to support local authorities in Nottinghamshire to help improve the delivery of SEND services.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/5146", "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Gedling"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Michael Payne"} ], "uin" : "1081"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1722281", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1722281/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Treasury\u2019s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI) is responsible for civil enforcement of the UK\u2019s financial sanctions regimes.<\/p>

OFSI is committed to ensuring that the UK has the strongest possible capability to implement and enforce the UK\u2019s financial sanctions. OFSI has scaled up its enforcement capabilities through legislative changes and expanded its team, allowing it to progress a higher number of complex investigations. For example, in the financial year 2022 \u2013 2023 OFSI increased resource in its enforcement team by 175%.<\/p>

OFSI expects to see the first monetary penalties resulting from breaches related to the 2022 Russia designations in 2024.<\/p>
