To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to increase the provision of bus services in Solihull.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps he is taking to increase the provision of bus services in Solihull.
The bus market outside London is deregulated and decisions regarding service provision are primarily a commercial matter for bus operators. Decisions on subsidised bus services are a matter for individual English local authorities, in the light of their other spending priorities. The Bus Services Act 2017 provides the tools local authorities need to improve local bus services and increase passenger numbers.

Please note there have been methodological changes over the recording of these statistics so yearly figures may not be directly comparable.
Source: ORR Estimates of Station Usage (http://orr.gov.uk/statistics/published-stats/station-usage-estimates)
Station arrivals and departures provide an estimation of the number of passenger journeys, based on origin and destination data from ticket sales. The methodology applied makes an assumption that the number of station arrivals and departures are equal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the (a) initial and (b) additional allocated budgets for special needs provision in Solihull schools have been in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the (a) initial and (b) additional allocated budgets for special needs provision in Solihull schools have been in each of the last five years.
Local authorities are required to provide schools with sufficient funds to enable mainstream schools to meet the additional cost of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities, up to the value of £6,000. This funding comes from the schools’ block of the dedicated schools grant. While authorities will identify a notional SEN budget for each school within the school’s overall budget, that notional budget is not ring-fenced, and schools are expected to manage their overall budget to best meet the need of all their pupils, including pupils with SEN.
When the costs of additional support required for a pupil with SEN exceed £6,000, the local authority should also allocate additional top-up funding to cover the excess costs. This top-up funding, and all funding for special schools comes from the local authority’s high needs budget. In December 2018, we announced an additional £250 million in high needs funding across the current financial year and the next, bringing Solihull’s total high needs funding to £27.2 million in 2018-19.
The schools and high needs allocations for Solihull since 2013-14 are as follows:
Year | Schools | High needs |
2014-15 | £130.2 million | £24.1 million |
2015-16 | £142.0 million[1] | £24.7 million |
2016-17 | £143.1 million | £25.1 million |
2017-18 | £145.5 million | £26.6 million |
2018-19 | £149.7 million | £27.2 million |
[1] The 2015-16 schools funding allocation includes £9.39 million transferred through the Non-Recoupment Academies Cash Transfer. This is therefore not a like-for-like comparison with 2014-15 funding figures.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his 30 January 2019 news story entitled £38 million T Level Capital Fund launches, how much of that £38 million he plans to allocate to schools in Solihull.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his 30 January 2019 news story entitled £38 million T Level Capital Fund launches, how much of that £38 million he plans to allocate to schools in Solihull.
The T Level Capital Fund is for 2020 providers only and will be delivered in two parts. No providers have been selected to provide T levels in the academic year 2020 to 2021 within Solihull.
Eligible further education providers who have been selected to deliver T levels in the academic year 2020 to 2021 are able to bid for funding to refurbish their existing buildings or, where there is strong evidence to suggest a pressing need, to build new spaces. The results from this process will be known in summer 2020.
Funding for specialist equipment, such as digital and audio-visual kit, will be allocated to providers who have been selected in spring 2020 to deliver T levels in the academic year 2020 to 2021. We will make allocations using a formula based on the T level routes and the student numbers expected by the providers.
I certainly understand, not least from my own constituency, the valuable service that Citizens Advice provides in many parts of the country. As my hon. Friend knows, the funding available through the local government settlement is largely not ring-fenced. These are decisions for elected local authorities to take at their discretion, but I am sure that the local authority in Solihull has heard clearly my hon. Friend’s concerns.

Julian Knight (Solihull) (Con):
Citizens Advice in Solihull has been a cornerstone of my community for over four decades. Does my right hon. Friend share my dismay at the fact that the council procurement process has seen 60% of its funding wiped out overnight? Will he join me in calling on Solihull Council to do everything to ensure the survival of my brilliant local Citizens Advice?
