	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text <p>The second largest opposition party is neither formally defined nor given specific speaking rights by the Standing Orders of the House or the Companion to the Standing Orders. The Companion to Standing Orders does, however, set out several areas where the “opposition front benches” have the right to speak for longer than backbenchers or have rights to speak at specific points in proceedings.<br><br>Of the political parties represented in the House, only the Official Opposition and the Liberal Democrat group operate frontbenches of a size that permits them to shadow each Government department. It is for that reason that the definition of “opposition frontbenches” that applied in practice before the 2010 Parliament has been reverted to in this Parliament. <br><br>It remains open to any member who wishes to propose a change to current arrangements to make representations to me and/or make a submission to the Procedure Committee.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stowell of Beeston grouped question UIN HL1135 HL1137 HL1138 HL1139 HL1588 question first answered 20/07/2015 16:47:20 answering member 4205 label Biography information for Baroness Stowell of Beeston

To help schools achieve this we have published revised Statutory Guidance which underpins their duty to secure independent careers guidance. This makes it clear that schools should inspire their pupils through more real-life contact with the world of work. We have also published new departmental advice, which provides examples of good practice and case studies, demonstrating how schools can build closer links with employers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 30/07/2014 16:48:18 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

Within these centres neurological multidisciplinary teams ensure patients can access a range of health professionals, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, clinical nurse specialists, psychologists, and that they can receive specialised treatment and support, according to their needs.</p><p>The Neurology Advisory Group will ensure that there is system alignment and a national approach when considering the recommendations, which will be of benefit to patients.</p><p>NHS England is also working with the Neurological Alliance, following the publication on 5 July 2017 of their report on mental health and neurological conditions, <em>Parity of esteem for people affected by neurological conditions: meeting the emotional, cognitive &amp; mental health needs of neurology patients</em>.</p><p>A copy of the report is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 02/08/2017 15:07:06 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy attachment 1 file name HL1136 Parity-of-esteem-for-people-affected-by-neuro-conditions-2017.pdf title Mental health and neurological conditions
