Children: Disadvantaged
Thursday 19th November 2015

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many children in families on the troubled families programme were classified as in need in the most recent year for which figures are available.

Answered by Greg Clark

My Department does not hold information on specific numbers of children classified as ‘Child in Need’ on the current Troubled Families Programme.

However, for the original Troubled Families Programme, which ran from 2012 - 2015, it was estimated that 23% of families contained one or more children with a Child in Need status.

Written Question
Voluntary Organisations
Tuesday 1st July 2014

Asked by: Andrew Griffiths (Conservative - Burton)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the total value of (a) public service contracts and (b) grants that were awarded by local authorities to voluntary sector organisations in the last year for which figures are available.

Answered by Brandon Lewis

[Holding Reply: Monday 30 June 2014]

Our most recent estimates suggest that local authorities in England gave £1.1 billion in grants to voluntary bodies in 2012-13. A further £23.9 billion was spent on public service contracts, which would include those awarded to both voluntary and private sector bodies (a breakdown between the two is not available). These figures are based on updated methodology and returns, and are not comparative to the previous figures supplied to my hon. Friend.
