question text	Her Majesty's Government what plans they have for using any underspend on the Sixth Form College budget.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL935
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2017 answer text <p>Budgets for sixth form colleges are not set separately from budgets for other providers. The overall 16-19 budget set for each financial year is a forecast of anticipated spend. Actual spend varies from this because it is based on set funding rates per student. If actual student numbers are lower than forecast, the department works in conjunction with the Treasury to try to reallocate any underspends to other priorities in a way that maximises value for money. This could include a proposal to redeploy the funding to the next financial year. If alternative value for money activities cannot be identified, the funding is returned to the Treasury to support the overall fiscal position.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 28/07/2017 10:02:40 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	Her Majesty's Government what requirements apply to the setting up of a teacher supply agency; and  how such agencies are regulated.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL936
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/07/2017 answer text <p>The Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations 2003 govern the setting up of a teacher supply agency.</p><p> </p><p>There have been some updates but this is the premise of the regulations. Enforcement lies with the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate (EAS). The EAS is the body that polices the Conduct Regulations, which can impose heavy fines on agencies that do not comply with the rules and may stop them from trading. If it is clear that an agency is in breach of the regulations then the EAS should be contacted immediately.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 28/07/2017 09:51:26 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
