star this property answer text <p>Universities are autonomous bodies and it is for them to determine pay arrangements for their staff. However, the Government, in the 2017/18 Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) grant letter stated:</p><p> </p><p>“The Government is clear that efficiency includes demonstrating restraint in senior pay and remains concerned about the substantial upwards drift in salaries of some top management. We would like to see senior leaders in the sector exercise more pay restraint.”</p><p> </p><p>Jo Johnson, the Minister for Universities and Science, has continued to call on the sector to show restraint in Vice Chancellors' pay and for the sector to demonstrate more leadership especially at a time when students are concerned about value for money.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The security and resilience of UK Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) is a key priority for the Government. The 2015 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review said that the Government will work with infrastructure owners and operators to mitigate risks to our CNI, and committed Government to ensure the right regulatory framework is in place to ensure our CNI is resilient to future threats.</p><p>Along with Lead Government Departments, the Cabinet Office is reviewing the resilience implications of leaving the EU. This will involve close collaboration with the Department for Exiting the European Union, which is working with all departments to ensure our preparations for exit are on track.</p><p>Matters of national security are often handled bilaterally, and we do not anticipate this changing after leaving the European Union. We will continue to strengthen and grow our close relationships with the CNI community in Ireland and across Europe, as well as our partners in NATO.</p><p>Each year the Government publishes a short public summary of the detailed plans being taken forward by Lead Departments to tackle threats to critical infrastructure. The 2016 summary can be found here:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/568546/sector_security_resilience_plans_14_11_2016.pdf</p>

star this property answer text <p>Product safety legislation requires products to be safe when they are placed on the market. It does not specifically require products to be labelled with information about fire retardant material used in the products.</p><p>The Government is currently reviewing the Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988. One of the proposals under consideration is specific labelling to show the presence of fire retardant chemicals to help inform consumers and to aid consumer choice. A consultation on this issue was held in late 2016. The responses to the consultation will help to inform our decisions on this question and will be included in the Government response, to be issued in due course.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government has no plans to repeal sections 58 and 59 of the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. As with other matters of conscience, abortion is an issue on which the Government adopts a neutral stance and allows Members to vote according to their moral, ethical or religious beliefs. Traditionally any proposals for legislative change are a matter for backbenchers to bring forward and there is a free vote in both Houses of Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>There are no plans to repeal section 25 of the Criminal Justice (Northern Ireland) Act. The law on abortion in Northern Ireland is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Assembly.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>UNESCO’s mandate is to coordinate international cooperation in education, science, culture and communication to strengthen ties between nations and societies, including freedom of expression, universal respect for human rights and global citizenship. It is committed to developing more inclusive and prosperous societies, which are also more resilient to the poisonous ideologies of extremism. UNESCO has delivered some good work in the area of education and extremism, including a useful Teacher’s Guide on Preventing Violent Extremism. We will be pushing UNESCO to ensure its advice is informed by evidence and that any activities they implement in this area are rigorously evaluated to assess what works.</p> more like this
