Over the coming weeks and months the department will continue to engage with key stakeholders in business and civil society, including universities, through roundtables, bi-laterals and visits across the UK.</p><p>We have been clear that we want to create an environment in which the UK as a whole can continue to be a world leader in research, science and the tertiary education sector more broadly. The government has announced that UK researchers can still apply for Horizon 2020 projects and the Treasury will underwrite the payment of such awards, even when specific projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU. Equally, existing EU students and those starting courses in 2017/18 will continue to be eligible for student loans and will be for the duration of their course.</p><p>Jo Johnson - Minister for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation – has also set up a forum with a number of senior representatives of UK research and innovation organisations to discuss opportunities and issues arising from the UK’s exit from the European Union. This group will work with Government to ensure it has the best evidence to keep the UK punching above its weight in research and innovation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/03/2017 16:24:57 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Exiting the European Union is undertaking a wide range of analysis of the effect on the economy, in partnership with HM Treasury and other government departments and has been engaging closely with stakeholders. The UK’s decision to leave the EU means there will be a period of adjustment, but the UK economy is resilient. The unemployment rate is at its lowest level in four decades and the employment rate has never been higher. Businesses have continued to show their confidence in the UK, with major investments announced by GlaxoSmithKline, Google and Apple, among others. During our negotiations with the EU we are determined to get the very best deal for households and businesses and will continue to work closely with other government departments and HM Treasury to achieve this.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 30/06/2017 13:59:37 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2016 answer text <p>On 17 October the Minister for Vulnerable Children and Families laid a Written Ministerial Statement before this House reaffirming the Government’s commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It stated that both the UNCRC articles and the Committee’s recent Concluding Recommendations serve as a helpful and important guide to making sure that our policies – whether they hold direct or indirect consequences – consider children.</p>It is very important that we analyse the impact of policies in relation to particular groups: this is a fundamental part of good policy-making. This is done in a range of ways, particularly through engagement with civil society and professionals. In addition, Cabinet Office guidance encourages all government departments to consider, and set out in summary, the anticipated effects of legislation on children and on the compatibility of draft legislation with the UNCRC.
