answer text <p>As part of its Whole Sport Plan funding, Sport England is investing £2.4 million into a joint initiative with the Football Association, the Premier League and the Football League Trust. This initiative encourages more women and girls to play football, and a further £3 million to the ‘Women and Girls' Talent Pathway programme to develop the next generation of talented female football players.</p><p>As set out in the Autumn Statement, the Government will also be investing £10m in facilities and coaching that will boost grassroots participation across the country. Part of this funding will go to a bursary scheme to help open up the higher tiers of coaching to more people, with a particular emphasis on female coaches, and those from BME backgrounds.</p><p>I will also be bringing together key figures from across football for a meeting in the New Year to explore what more can be done to improve the numbers of ethnic minorities in leadership positions in the top tiers of English football.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The information requested in part (a) covers a broad range of casetypes and is not held centrally for in country cases. It could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. For international appeals the average time for allowed appeals to be implemented from January 2014 to September 2014 was 45 calendar days. <br><br>The Home Office has 14 days to consider whether to appeal an allowed First-tier or Upper Tribunal decision (although this can be longer in some Upper Tribunal decisions where the last avenue to appeal is direct to the Court of Appeal). <br><br>The relevant unit responsible for implementation will be notified once a decision has been made not to appeal. There are currently no set targets in place governing implementation of appeals.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The South East Flexible Ticketing (SEFT) programme underwent a thorough review in the first half of 2014 to ensure that its approach and scope were designed to deliver the best possible outcomes for passengers and taxpayers.</p><p> </p><p>Since this review, good progress is being made but it is too early to judge the outcomes of the programme at this point in time. The Department is committed, however, to undertaking robust evaluations of its programmes. To this end, officials are already exploring options to ensure that, as SEFT is delivered, a rigorous assessment of its outcomes can be produced and lessons learned where necessary. The earliest emerging outcomes are expected from August 2015.</p> more like this
