answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The South of Clifton Housing Infrastructure Scheme in Rushcliffe, for which the local authority requested £10 million of Marginal Viability Funding, has completed funding clarification. My Department will be notifying the local authority of the outcome very shortly. Nottinghamshire is also one of the 45 areas across England with whom we are working to co-develop Forward Funding projects with up to £4.6 billion of funding available to unlock a potential 450,000 homes in areas where housing need is greatest. For Forward Funding schemes in co-development, there is no guarantee of funding. It is still a competitive process, and following co-development, these areas will be required to submit business cases prior to final funding decisions being made.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 16/01/2019 16:33:02 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government which universities or other higher education institutions they have consulted about adding music to their lists of facilitating subjects.
tabling member printed	Lord Black of Brentwood
uin	HL12648
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>Universities are autonomous from government, and consequently control the criteria used to determine admissions. We are aware that some universities, notably those that comprise the Russell Group, identify the A level subjects most likely to facilitate entry to university. However, many other higher education institutions are guided simply by UCAS calculations of tariff points, which give equal weighting to A levels, regardless of subject. The government recognises the importance of arts subjects, including music. Students’ ability to make informed choices is at the heart of our recent reforms to higher education. The department is increasing the information available to students to ensure they can make informed choices about what and where to study.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 16/01/2019 12:45:22 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
