answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>We recognise the challenges that the cold weather poses for those who are sleeping rough. Last month, we launched a second year of the Cold Weather Fund, doubling its funding. This £10 million fund will be available to all local authorities in England to provide a robust, local response to support as many rough sleepers as possible off the streets during the winter period.</p><p>In periods of severe weather, Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP) is triggered and local authorities work closely with charities to provide basic emergency accommodation to minimise the risk of harm to individuals who are sleeping rough when the temperature drops. Many local authorities will already make sure warm places to stay are available throughout the winter, not just during times when SWEP is in force.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 28/10/2019 15:46:32 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>My colleagues and I meet regularly with counterparts across government, including colleagues from the Department for Education (DfE), to discuss a range of policies and programmes. Next year’s settlement for local government recognises the critical role councils play, and responds to the pressures they face, by providing access to the largest year-on-year increase in Core Spending Power (CSP) in over a decade. Under our proposals, CSP is expected to rise from £46.2 billion to £49.1 billion in 2020-21; an estimated increase of 4.3 per cent in real terms. These resources are largely unringfenced and therefore available for local authorities to spend in line with their local priorities.</p><p>DfE has also recently announced an increase of £780 million in 2020-21 to their high needs budget, which pays for children and young people with complex special educational needs and disabilities. This will bring the high needs budget to over £7 billion, with every local authority seeing a minimum funding increase of 8 per cent per person aged 2-18 years old.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 28/10/2019 15:55:21 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

tabling member constituency	Croydon North
tabling member printed	Mr Steve Reed
uin	2880
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>The government has consistently made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner. Government intervention to provide funding for the removal of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding is wholly exceptional, based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses.</p><p>Government intervention does not remove responsibility for overall building safety from the building owners, and if other fire safety risks are uncovered they must remedy them. Building owners should consider all routes to meet costs, protecting residents where they can – for example through warranties and recovering costs from contractors for incorrect or poor work. The government consulted between June and July on building safety reforms and sought views on ways in which remediation costs could be mitigated. We are considering responses currently and will set out our conclusions by the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 25/10/2019 15:14:23 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey previous answer version 1532 answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
