question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimates his Department has made of the comparable costs of the (a) recommendations of the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body that all pay and allowance ranges for teachers and school leaders are uplifted by 3.5% from September 2018 and (b) his Department's pay package introduced following the that School Teachers’ Pay Review Body report.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>In July 2018, the Department accepted in full the School Teachers’ Pay Review Body (STRB) recommendation for a 3.5% uplift to the minima and maxima of the main pay range. As a result, classroom teachers will see starting salaries increasing by between £803 and £1,004. The Department also announced a substantial uplift to pay ranges for leaders and higher-paid teachers: 2% on the upper pay range and 1.5% on the leadership pay range.</p><p>This was supported by a new Teachers’ Pay Grant of £508 million over two years, covering the difference between these awards and the 1% award that schools would have anticipated under the previous public sector pay cap. This was funded using existing Department for Education resources, recognising that the pay award would have a significant impact on school budgets.</p><p>Providing an equivalent Teachers’ Pay Grant to cover the difference between a 3.5% award for all pay ranges and the previous public sector pay cap would have cost over £900m across two years.</p><p>In line with the overall government approach to pay review body recommendations across the public sector, the Department needs to balance the importance of rewarding teachers with ensuring awards are affordable and fair to the taxpayer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 31/01/2019 17:03:01 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	211695
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The decision to restrict authorisations arose from a routine review of safety data carried out by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the UK Expert Committee on Pesticides under pesticides legislation. The review considered the available scientific information, including new studies commissioned by authorisation holders, and concluded that the risks to birds and mammals were unacceptable.</p><p> </p><p>The decision was communicated to the authorisation holders by HSE as the UK regulator. Defra issued a press release outlining the reasons for the decision and also alerted water companies that have an interest in limiting metaldehyde emissions to water. Defra and HSE have had representations from stakeholders on the decision itself, some of which were supportive while others raised concerns. We have also had representations about the phase out period. We are in the process of replying to these representations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 31/01/2019 13:27:23 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2019 answer text <p>The use of ferric phosphate for controlling slugs has increased in recent years. Use is likely to increase further as metaldehyde will no longer be permitted for outdoor use after 30 June 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Ferric phosphate is authorised for use as a pesticide and the risk assessment carried out demonstrates that it will not harm people or carry unacceptable risks to the environment. In particular, it does not carry the risks to birds and mammals that have led to the decision to remove the authorisation of metaldehyde. The assessment also shows that ferric phosphate is effective in controlling slugs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 31/01/2019 14:16:21 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
