2nd Sep 2024
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make an estimate of the number of households with less than £1,000 in savings in (a) Welwyn Hatfield constituency and (b) England.

The information requested falls under the remit of the UK Statistics Authority.

A response to the Hon Gentleman’s Parliamentary Question of 2 September 2024 is attached.

Georgia Gould
Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the average funding per pupil was in mainstream schools in (a) Welwyn Hatfield constituency, (b) Hertfordshire and (c) England in over the past five academic years.

The tables below set out funding statistics for Welwyn Hatfield constituency, Hertfordshire and England in each of the last five years. The Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG) funding cycle is on a financial year basis, rather than an academic one, so this is what has been provided in this answer.

For Hertfordshire and England, the figures represent the funding provided through the schools block of the DSG. The figures in table one include premises funding but exclude falling rolls and growth funding (funding for local authorities to support schools with significant increases or decreases in pupil numbers).

The DSG is allocated at local authority level and, as such, the equivalent figures are not available for Welwyn Hatfield constituency. The constituency level data for Welwyn Hatfield is instead calculated based on the notional schools national funding formula (NFF) allocations for all mainstream schools in the constituency. The figures in table two are not comparable to those in table one because DSG funding cannot be broken down to constituency level, so the context of the funding figures are not the same.

The tables below provide average per-pupil funding for the last five years, 2020/21 to 2024/25:
