Stuart Andrew: ...and trained youth sector workforce and we are working with the National Youth Agency to ensure clear qualification pathways, free training and access to financial support for qualifications. To date DCMS has awarded funding for bursaries for over 2,000 individuals to undertake youth work qualifications who otherwise may have been excluded due to cost.
Robert Jenrick: To date compliance investigations have resulted in two outcomes, one was the revocation of a licence and the other a suspension of a licence, and that investigation is on-going.
Maria Caulfield: ...could be used in the 2021 censuses for England and Wales, and Northern Ireland; and the 2022 Census for Scotland. This means that the 2021 and 2022 census questions are, currently, the most up to date way of collecting data about ethnic groups. The classification for England and Wales has 19 groups including the categories ‘Gypsy or Irish Traveller’ and ‘Roma’...
Baroness Vere of Norbiton: A total of c.860,000 trees have been planted across the mainline scheme and National Highways have spent c.£2m to date. There is a further c.£2m within the original budget to undertake the necessary work and bring the planting on the scheme into a better condition. National Highways conducted a review in the Autumn 2022 to analyse reasons for tree failures and inform a replanting...
Baroness Neville-Rolfe: My noble friend Lord Hodgson and I always agree on the need for numbers—and numbers of the right kind, relating to the right dates. I do have numbers for ARAP and ACRS, but I think he might be asking a broader question, so I suggest that I share the numbers I have, answer the question from the noble Baroness, Lady Taylor, and write to noble Lords. This evening we are talking about...
Viscount Hanworth: ...prevailed over many years by endeavouring to reduce their salary bills. University lecturers have, on average, lost 25% of their real incomes since 2009. I believe that that figure is way out of date as a consequence of current inflation. Meanwhile, the disparities in their incomes have increased, with the top earners moving rapidly ahead. The collapsing value of the USS pension fund has...
Jessica Morden: ...Departments. Notably, the Department for Health and Social Care picked up in 2022 after a pretty dismal record in 2021. However, we know that others are still lagging behind or not disclosing up-to-date information on how quickly they respond to inquiries and questions from MPs. The Home Office is one prominent example, but there are so many Departments, including the DWP, the MOJ and the...
Grahame Morris: I am grateful for your advice, Mr Deputy Speaker. I did seek advice from the Speaker’s Office in relation to the references that I was going to make, but I will adhere to your updated advice. I am not going to comment on the case but, from speaking to BBC Northern Ireland’s “Spotlight” programme, it is clear that there are indications that the police service has more than a good idea...
Lord Markham: As I have mentioned many a time and am happy to mention again, the workforce plan will be announced shortly—soon. I wish I could give an exact date, but it is there. However, I am sorry to say that I do not believe that can be used as an excuse for the strike action that we are talking about now, which puts patients at risk. I know that, in other areas, the Agenda for Change unions have...
Baroness Wheeler: ...the White Paper would be the national plan we have been promised, and that we would have it as the backdrop for today. Now we understand it will be published in the recess, that it is a two-year update rather than a plan, and that next week we may have the promised workforce plan—or a bit of it—and a key policy document on primary care. Like other noble Lords, I hope the Minister will...
Greg Clark: ...accelerating the national planning statement so that developers of small modular reactors do not have to wait until 2025 to plan deployment? And on hydrogen, will the road map include a target date for phasing out polluting grey hydrogen, as recommended in a recent Science and Technology Committee report?
Mel Stride: ...a 10-year notice period, that would suggest that, if the next review —and I say if, because that is for others to decide in the course of time—were in, say, 2026, that would indeed make those dates possible. Of course, it would not preclude decisions being taken for dates further out than 2037 to 2039. Secondly, the right hon. Gentleman asks what our policy is at the moment. We are...
Baroness Randerson: ...said that nowadays that would cost a considerable amount. But the tourism and retail industries contest that claim. It is two years since that decision was made. Surely the Treasury has up-to-date details.
Trudy Harrison: Actually, that decision was taken in 2000, and we have extended the date from 2026 to 2031. I remind the hon. Member of the measures that we are taking to improve access to nature with Natural England and the commitment for people to be within 15 minutes of a blue or green area, as well as with the national trails and the designation of the coast to coast as a national trial. The England...
Justin Madders: ...with increasing costs relating to covid and energy. It is waiting for an answer from the Government about what will happen with its grant funding, so will the Secretary of State give us a date by which a decision will be made and guarantee there will be no cuts to its grant funding?
Jessica Morden: Imprisonment for public protection sentences were abolished in 2012, but that did not apply retrospectively. A constituent of mine whose son is serving an IPP sentence dating from before then has told me how this causes continued uncertainty and disruption for the whole family, and concern about their son’s mental health deteriorating. Can the Minister commit to working to reach a consensus...
Will Quince: ...labour for the resolution of contracts between April 2022 to January 2023 is expected to be £5.45 million. This activity is responsible for the Department recovering well over £50 million to date, and further cash settlements are expected.
Chris Philp: ...funding into tackling this heinous crime. This includes over £140 million for supporting victims and over £81 million for tackling perpetrators. Some of the commitments we have delivered to date includes:Publishing a set of tools to measure the effectiveness of interventions that support children of domestic abuse.Doubling the funding for the National Domestic Abuse Helpline, and...
Deidre Brock: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the response to the Answer of 17 March 2023 to Question 162216 on Refugees: Afghanistan, whether her Department has set a target date for providing people with further information on how they can be reunited with their family members.
Nick Gibb: The Department is in discussion about the publication date of the wave one survey and will inform headteacher and teacher unions, as well as the study's advisory group, when a date is confirmed. The Department values the views of the 11,000 headteachers and teachers who responded to wave one of the survey and wave two of the survey is currently underway.
