answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2016 answer text <p>We welcome the Commission’s report, published last week. It is a wide ranging, valuable piece of work that draws out some important findings.</p><p> </p><p>The Commission’s approach to social mobility is in line with work going on in the Department: looking at the opportunities of a group beyond the most disadvantaged; solidly focusing on areas of the country which are falling behind; and addressing wider obstacles to opportunity, like the need for high quality advice. Officials are engaging with the Commission’s findings as part of this wider work programme.</p><p> </p><p>Opportunity Areas, launched last month, will be the vanguard of our approach to social mobility in areas where there are the greatest challenges and the fewest opportunities and will benefit from our energy, ideas and resources to address the barriers to social mobility. These areas are all social mobility coldspots identified by the Commission.</p><p> </p><p>The Commission points out that the barriers to social mobility will not be fixed overnight. It will require long term effort from the Government, business, civil society and communities to ensure that talent and hard work leads to success, wherever you live or whatever your background.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 24/11/2016 11:21:56 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The Minister for Africa visited Zimbabwe on 23 and 24 November. He met with actors from across the political spectrum, including President Emmerson Mnangagwa and opposition leaders Morgan Tsvangirai and Joice Mujuru. The UK is clear that the only way for Zimbabwe to achieve a legitimate government is through free and fair elections. We welcome President Mnangagwa's commitment to hold free and fair elections next year and we will do all we can to support a legitimate government rebuild the country, working with international and regional partners. The visit was an early opportunity to deliver these messages. Both the Foreign Secretary and the Minister for Africa are engaging with the region and other international partners on this matter.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/11/2017 16:29:28 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Pendry
uin	HL3322
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2022 answer text <p>Many clubs choose to upgrade their facilities, or do so to meet league and safety requirements. All facilities for football clubs must meet the requirements prescribed by their league organiser, the relevant football authority, the Sports Ground Safety Authority, the relevant local authority, and legislation. This ensures that facilities, particularly stadia, are appropriate and safe for all. Football clubs may be subject to the same planning restrictions as any other business or community facility.</p><p>His Majesty’s Government confirmed in July that Premier League and Championship clubs wishing to introduce licensed ‘safe standing’ areas at football stadia can apply to do so from the beginning of the current season, increasing the range of options football clubs can offer their supporters when considering their facilities.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay question first answered 23/11/2022 17:42:09 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay
