answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2024 answer text <p>The Office for Budget Responsibility had forecast that local authorities would spend £1.4 billion more than the funding they would receive on high needs in the 2025/26 financial year. This was on the assumption that high needs funding would increase only by the gross domestic product (GDP) deflator. In fact, overall high needs funding increased by £1 billion, and given this higher level of funding, HM Treasury have recorded in their tables that this creates a corresponding £865 million reduction in expected local government spending on high needs (that is, in the level of local government spending over the funding they will receive).</p> answering member constituency Newcastle upon Tyne North answering member printed Catherine McKinnell question first answered 04/12/2024 12:23:34 answering member 4125 label Biography information for Catherine McKinnell
