tabling member printed	Lord Johnson of Marylebone
uin	HL3680
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2024 answer text <p>The Government is aware that the BDS Movement has taken credit for divestments from Israeli companies carried out by universities following pressure from student campaigns. For example, the BDS Movement took credit for divestments from Israeli military suppliers by the University of Manchester in 2020 and procurement decisions by King’s College London and Southampton University. The Government is also aware of recent examples of student unions passing motions to lobby their universities to boycott and divest from Israeli companies, including for example Manchester University Student Union in 2022 and Warwick University Student Union in 2023. There are concerns that these campaigns can damage community cohesion and legitimise antisemitism. There are also examples overseas of the BDS Movement pressing universities to boycott or divest from Israeli companies for example in Norway or the United States of America. The Bill rightly applies to universities and higher education providers to prevent them succumbing to student union pressure in the future and to tackle this type of divisive activity on campuses.</p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe grouped question UIN HL3681 question first answered 12/04/2024 10:38:21 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

In addition to their labour market status, working respondents provide a description of their job allowing us to classify their occupation to the appropriate Standard Occupational Classification 2020 (SOC2020) code.</p><p> </p><p>Similarly, the 2021 Census collected information allowing us to identify the labour market status of individuals and classify their occupation in line with SOC2020.</p><p> </p><p>Much of the job information from these sources, collected from respondents, do not contain sufficient detail to give an accurate coding at the six-digit lower-level classification. Consequently, the ONS currently has no plans to publish data at the six-digit SOC2020 level.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p> </p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 12/04/2024 10:41:11 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe attachment 1 file name PQHL3670 (1) (1).pdf title UK Statistics Authority Response
