answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2022 answer text <p>The Department continues to speak to a range of organisations representing Head Teachers and directly to Head Teachers themselves. Discussions have included school funding and build on the regular engagement the Department has already had.</p><p>Overall, core schools funding, including funding for both mainstream and high needs schools, is increasing by £4 billion in 2022/23 financial year compared to 2021/22. This brings the total core schools budget to £53.8 billion. This means the total funding allocated to schools and high needs seeing a 7% cash terms per pupil increase in the 2022/23 financial year compared to the previous financial year.</p><p>On 21 September 2022, the Government set out how businesses and public sector organisations, including schools, will be supported by the Energy Bill Relief Scheme. This will reduce how much schools need to spend on their energy, and give schools greater certainty over their budgets over the winter months.</p><p>Any school which has signed a fixed energy contract since April 2022 will be eligible for support if, at the time they signed their contact, wholesale prices for the next six months were expected to be higher than the Government-supported price of £211/MWh for electricity, and £75/MWh for gas.</p><p>For example, a school which uses 10 MWh of electricity and 22 MWh of gas a month and signed a fixed contract giving them a current monthly energy bill of about £10,000, would receive support based on the difference between expected wholesale prices when they signed their contract and the Government-supported price. For a contract signed in July 2022, this could be worth £240/MWh for electricity and £70/MWh for gas, meaning the school receives a discount of £4,000 per month, reducing their original bill by 40%.</p><p>Support will also be available to schools on variable, deemed and other contracts.</p><p>The details of the scheme can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/energy-bill-relief-scheme-help-for-businesses-and-other-non-domestic-customers" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/energy-bill-relief-scheme-help-for-businesses-and-other-non-domestic-customers</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stoke-on-Trent North answering member printed Jonathan Gullis question first answered 17/10/2022 16:35:34 answering member 4814 label Biography information for Jonathan Gullis

tabling member constituency	Weaver Vale

uin	51936
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/10/2022 answer text <p>We advise all bird keepers that high standards of biosecurity should be maintained as good practice for the health and welfare of their birds, and that they must remain vigilant and report immediately to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) any suspicion of avian influenza in their birds.</p><p> </p><p>Good biosecurity is an essential defence against diseases such as avian influenza and is key to limiting the spread of avian influenza in an outbreak. In light of evidence of escalating findings of avian influenza in wild birds and cases in poultry and other captive birds, an Avian Influenza Prevention Zone (AIPZ) was declared on 31<sup>st</sup> August 2022 in Cornwall, Devon, Isles of Scilly and part of Somerset and remains in force until further notice. In this area it is a legal requirement for all bird keepers (whether they had pet birds, commercial flocks or just a few birds in a backyard flock) to follow strict biosecurity measures to limit the spread of and eradicate the disease. Definitive requirements are set out in the <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1101441/Regional_AIPZ_Declaration_31_August_2022_Cornwall__Devon__Somerset.pdf" target="_blank">regional AIPZ Declaration</a>, and biosecurity guidance and a biosecurity self-assessment checklist have been published by Defra to assist all bird keepers in instigating and maintaining good biosecurity, including compliance with the mandatory AIPZ measures which, together with further updates on the latest avian influenza situation, can be found via <a href="https://gov.uk/bird-flu" target="_blank">GOV.UK/Bird-flu</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The need for a national AIPZ or further regional AIPZs with or without mandatory housing measures will be kept under regular review as part of HM Government’s work to monitor and manage the risks of avian influenza. Any decisions on when to reintroduce a national or further regional AIPZs will be based on <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/avian-influenza-bird-flu#risklevel" target="_blank">risk assessments</a> containing the latest scientific, ornithological evidence and veterinary advice.</p><p> </p><p>When avian influenza is confirmed in poultry or other captive birds, swift and humane culling of birds on infected premises coupled with good biosecurity is used to prevent the amplification of avian influenza and subsequent environmental contamination and to reduce the risk of disease spread from infected premises. In addition, disease control zones are put in place surrounding the infected premises. Within these zones the movement of birds and things associated with their keeping, e.g. poultry litter, are restricted to prevent the spread of disease. Disease control zones are only lifted when all disease control activities and surveillance within the zones are successfully completed.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, alongside HM Government’s continued investment in the National Reference Laboratory and APHA’s Weybridge site, earlier this year we launched an eight-strong consortium that received £1.5 million in funding to develop new strategies to tackle avian influenza outbreaks. This research will help build our understanding in a number of key areas, including why the current virus strains have formed larger and longer outbreaks and understanding transmission and infection in different bird populations.</p> answering member constituency North Cornwall answering member printed Scott Mann question first answered 03/10/2022 10:55:45 answering member 4496 label Biography information for Scott Mann
