	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2019 answer text <p>A new EU Animal Health Regulation containing rules relevant to bovine TB control is due to come into force from 2021. Government officials have participated in expert group discussions on the so called delegated acts which will lay down the detailed rules. The UK devolved administrations have been fully involved in briefing for those meetings, including on the provisions for movement testing. Written representations have also been submitted to the European Commission. Ultimately, since these texts are delegated acts, final decisions on the detailed rules will be a matter for the European Commission, which has also conducted public consultation via its Have Your Say web service.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/07/2019 13:21:47 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2017 answer text <p>Educational achievement is at the heart of our commitment to making this a country where everyone has a fair chance to go as far as their talent and hard work will take them. Thanks to our reforms, there are 1.8 million more children in schools rated good or outstanding than in 2010. We recognise that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds - defined as those currently or formerly in receipt of free school meals and currently or formerly looked after - may face extra barriers to achieving their potential. This is why we introduced the pupil premium in 2011 and have invested over £11bn - almost £2.5bn this year alone – so that schools can provide extra support to disadvantaged pupils of all abilities.</p><p> </p><p>We created the early years pupil premium in 2015 so disadvantaged children are better prepared for school and, beyond school, the independent Director of Fair Access has agreed access agreements for 2018/19 which will see universities plan to spend more than £860 million - significantly more than the £404 million in 2009 - on measures to continue to improve access for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p><p> </p><p>The attainment gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers has decreased at both age 11 and age 16 since 2011. This means better prospects for disadvantaged pupils and a more prosperous life as an adult.</p><p> </p><p>But we know there is more to do. Our £72 million opportunity areas programme will create opportunities for young people in social mobility ‘cold spots’ and share effective practice across the country to ensure all young people can access the opportunities they deserve.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Education Endowment Foundation, which we established with a £137 million grant in 2011, is working in hundreds of schools to expand the evidence of what works best to accelerate progress.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 02/11/2017 17:43:27 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>International civil aviation is governed by the Convention on International Civil Aviation. Under the Convention, the International Civil Aviation Organisation is responsible for establishing the minimum safety standards for international aviation. Subject to compliance with those international standards, the State in which the aircraft is registered is responsible for determining what equipment it should carry. Within the EU, aircraft equipment requirements are introduced through EU legislation adopted on the advice of the European Aviation Safety Agency. There are currently no plans to introduce EU legislation to require the carriage of wind shear detection and alert systems on aircraft registered in EU Member States. We believe that this position is reasonable because the Civil Aviation Authority is not aware of any safety case which would justify the introduction of such a requirement.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 02/02/2015 16:19:51 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
