Additional advertising restrictions were considered as part of this process, but current restrictions in the UK are amongst the toughest in the world and the plan focuses on those areas which experts tell us are most effective.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 14/11/2016 17:25:59 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

We overhauled the methodology for counting rough sleepers in 2010, so that now every council has to report the scale of the problem in their area.</p><p>Of course, nobody should ever have to sleep rough, or become homeless in the first place. That is why we launched a £40 million Homelessness Prevention Programme, including a £10 million rough sleeping fund to help new rough sleepers, or people at imminent risk of sleeping rough, and £10 million of funding for Social Impact Bonds to provide targeted support for entrenched single homeless people.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 14/11/2016 15:19:40 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>We encourage schools to create a whole-school culture that promotes health and well-being so that all our children are fit, healthy and able to learn. We know schools treat this seriously, and many take their own steps to promote their milk provision. School governing boards are responsible for their food policies (including milk) and we trust them to decide what is best.</p><p> </p><p>The new national curriculum, which came into effect in September 2014, also sets the expectation that across a variety of subjects, pupils are taught about the importance of healthy eating and nutrition. Since its introduction, we have strengthened the requirements on schools to teach children about food, nutrition and healthy eating and how to cook a range of dishes. For example, in primary schools, children are taught about healthy eating, where their food comes from, and how to prepare and cook a range of dishes. In secondary schools, cookery is now compulsory and children are taught to cook a range of healthy and nutritious meals. They are equipped with knowledge about healthy eating and what is meant by a balanced diet.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The current EU School Milk scheme is very well-established across the UK and plays a valuable role in encouraging consumption of milk from an early age. The EU Commission recently introduced legislation for a new scheme from August next year which includes a focus on the role of education in supporting milk consumption. We are working closely with stakeholders on our plans to implement the new scheme.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/11/2016 08:36:42 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
