answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2024 answer text <p>This government is committed to providing a world class education system for all children and has invested significantly in education to achieve that. Overall school funding, including the recently announced additional pensions funding, is rising to £60.7 billion in 2024/25, which is the highest ever level in real terms per pupil. This means that real terms funding for schools in England has increased rather than decreased since 2010.</p><p>Through the National Funding Formula (NFF), funding is distributed fairly based on the needs of each school and their pupils and all schools attract a per pupil increase in funding. Mainstream schools in the Rochdale Constituency are attracting an extra £1 million in 2024/25 compared to 2023/24 through the schools NFF, which is an increase of 1.9% per pupil in their pupil-led funding. This means schools in the Rochdale Constituency will attract over £112.1 million, based on the schools NFF. Constituency figures are based on an aggregation of school-level allocations through the NFF, and final allocations will depend on the local authority’s funding formula.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 17/05/2024 10:47:04 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

The Government has also legislated for ‘Awaab’s law’, introduced via the Social Housing (Regulation) Act 2023.</p><p>In his written statement of 9 January 2024 (<a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https://hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2024-01-09/debates/24010944000010/SocialHousingQuality&amp;data=05|02|PS.Advisers@levellingup.gov.uk|403ce5c38c3b4d613f2f08dc6f400ec2|bf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8|0|0|638507568124914349|Unknown|TWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0=|0|||&amp;sdata=bc557E4jlbL/9Dr4cM3ZwOnZVP2z4sh6B961ktybuPE=&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">HCWS174</a>) the Secretary of State launched a consultation on how ‘Awaab’s law’ will operate in practice, including the specific requirements on social landlords. The consultation closed on 5 March 2024 and we are analysing the responses. Once this has been completed, we will bring forward secondary legislation as soon as possible.</p><p>The department, last year, provided £15 million of funding to the Greater Manchester Combined Authority to tackle the worst cases of damp and mould. They have now completed improvements to around 4,000 homes.</p> answering member constituency Redcar answering member printed Jacob Young question first answered 08/05/2024 14:30:12 answering member 4825 label Biography information for Jacob Young
