To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding his Department has allocated to road improvement works in (a) Surrey and (b) Woking constituency in each of the last three years; and what funding he plans to allocate to such works in the 2020-21 financial year.
Department for Transport funding for local highway maintenance is allocated mainly by formula to local highway authorities at the upper tier, to county councils or unitary authorities, so we are unable to provide a break down by Parliamentary constituency. The formula comprises the Needs Element (£725 million in England outside London in 2019/20) and the Incentive/Efficiency Element (£150 million 2019/20). Integrated Transport Block (ITB) is a formula distribution of capital funding to local transport authorities, which is designed to fund small-scale local transport improvements, including road safety measures, public transport and public realm improvements.
In each of the last three years the Department’s allocation to Surrey County Council for local highway maintenance and for ITB was as follows:
2017/18 £21.072 million
2018/19 £21.056 million
2019/20 £21.034 million
The proposed allocation for 2020/21 is £21.034 million.
Following Budget 2018, Surrey County Council received a share, £7.409 million, of the £420 million additional funding announced for England. This was for local highways maintenance including the repair of potholes, to keep local bridges and structures open and safe, and to aid other minor highway works.
Surrey County Council has a Private Finance Initiative for street lighting, for which the revenue grant payment in each of the last three years was £5.955 million.
In addition, Surrey County Council has received over £3.7 million in total over the last three years through the Pothole Action Fund.

The Department has provided £0.784 million for Bikeability training in schools in Surrey. Surrey County Council is one of the 46 local authorities benefiting from a total of £1.5 million investment to support the development of Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs). The Department has also allocated around £64 million to Surrey from non-ringfenced funding streams (including the Integrated Transport Block and Maintenance Block) of which a certain percentage is spent on measures which benefit cyclists and pedestrians. Local authorities are also able to use other local funds for cycling and walking projects.
Surrey County Council is part of the Enterprise M3 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP), which was allocated almost £125 million through the Local Growth Fund (LGF). The Department conducted a survey of LEPs about investment of LGF on cycling and walking projects and this has shown that Enterprise M3 has allocated £42.3 million for cycling and walking projects in their region, including for projects in Woking and Guildford.

Surrey | 13,281 | 8% |
Woking constituency | 1,285 | 9% |
Source: School census, as at January 2019
Figures include pupils in state-funded nursery, primary, secondary and special schools and pupil referral units (including free schools and academy alternative provision).
This data is published at national, regional, local authority and school level in annual ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ statistical release. The 2019 publication is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2019.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans his Department has to ensure an adequate number of places at secondary schools in Surrey.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans his Department has to ensure an adequate number of places at secondary schools in Surrey.
Local authorities are under a statutory duty to ensure that there is a school place available for every child. The Department provides basic need funding for every place that is needed, based on local authorities’ own data on pupil forecasts. Surrey has been allocated £287.4 million to provide new school places from 2011-21. This funding is not ringfenced, allowing local authorities greater flexibility to make decisions that are best for their local area.
There is currently one mainstream secondary free school, one specialist maths free school, and two special free schools with secondary provision in the pre-opening phase in Surrey. The Department is currently working with proposer groups to establish these new schools as soon as possible.
The current Spending Review settlement covers capital budgets until 2021. Capital funding for education beyond the current period will be agreed as part of the next Spending Review, where the Department will have the opportunity to discuss capital funding for education in the round and to consider how we can best support the sector.

The Department provides basic need funding for every place that is needed, based on local authorities’ data on pupil forecasts. Surrey has been allocated £287.4 million to provide new school places from 2011-21.
The Department collects pupil forecasts, existing school capacities, and plans to deliver additional school places from each local authority via the annual school capacity survey. Information from local authorities, together with information on centrally funded projects to add places, such as new free schools, is used to produce estimates of the future need for school places.
The Department only collects data at local authority and planning area level, and so does not hold data at constituency level. The latest available modelled estimates for Surrey show that there will be a net surplus of 4,633 primary places in the current academic year. This is forecast to increase to a net surplus of 5,963 primary places by 2022-23. The latest published data also shows that 14,658 new primary places have been created in Surrey between 2010 and 2018.

That this House recognises the tragic death of seven year old Zane Gbangbola, who died during the storms and floods in 2014 attributed by the Prime Minister as climate change related; notes that this is an issue of social injustice requiring an Independent Panel Inquiry (IPI) for Zane who died in a house infused with the nerve agent Hydrogen Cyanide detected by Fire Services HAZMAT; understands that the house was adjacent to likely contaminated landfill from which the floodwater flowed necessitating the area being evacuated for weeks, and decontaminations and circumstances reminiscent of Salisbury nerve agent incident; notes that Zane did not have an Article 2 Human Rights compliant Inquest or a Jury and his family were refused Legal Aid having to beg and crowdfund £70,000 for their child's inquest, whilst legal teams for several public authorities and exceptionally the coroner had a legal team and all received funding for the inquest from the public purse; further notes that the coroner ruled that Zane died after inhaling carbon monoxide from a petrol-powered pump hired by his parents to clear water from the basement and no carbon monoxide was detected, as only electric pumps were used; understands that Zane's father suffered paralysis caused by hydrogen cyanide poisoning and the Fire Brigade Union national conference motioned support for an IPI for Zane with full powers to compel disclosure from public authorities, as have the Green Party and PCS Union, and supported by the TUC due to serious issues of public protection from landfill; recognises that the BMJ state 80 per cent of people live within 2km of Landfill and 82,000 people have signed a petition to grant Zane an IPI; and with Zane's parents, Unions, the public, and political parties calls on the Government to establish an IPI so that all evidence can be reviewed by experts in order to establish the cause of Zane's death.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much funding his Department allocated to bus services serving (a) the North West, (b) Merseyside, (c) Wallasey constituency and (d) Surrey in each of the last eight years.
£250m of Bus Services Operators Grant (BSOG) payments are made to bus companies and local authorities. BSOG spend figures have been published on Gov.uk annually since the 2010-11 financial year. Details can be found via this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/bus-services-grants-and-funding#bsog-spend
Up until 31 December 2013 Bus Service Operators Grant (BSOG) was paid directly to bus operators and was not split between commercially run or subsidised bus services. From 1 January 2014 local authorities have received funding equivalent to the level of BSOG which would otherwise have been paid to operators for running subsidised services in 2014. BSOG spend figures are only broken down to upper tier local authority level. It should also be noted that the local authorities listed in the tables are derived from the address given on the BSOG claim form. It does not follow that the services to which the claim relates were necessarily all or partly conducted in that area.
