answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to assess the compatibility of software used by local<br>authorities for electoral registration and that used by the Cabinet Office and Electoral<br>Commission.</p><p>When Individual Electoral Registration (IER) was introduced in 2014, the Cabinet Office<br>worked with the Electoral Management Systems (EMS) providers to ensure they were<br>compatible with the Government’s IER Digital Service. Compatibility with the IER Digital<br>Service means that Electoral Registration Officers (EROs) can manage registration data<br>through their EMS by downloading applications submitted through the Register to Vote<br>website, uploading applications to be verified with the Department of Work and Pensions,<br>and notifying other EROs about electors who have moved from their area.</p><p>We continue to work with the suppliers to ensure any changes to the IER Digital Service<br>retain compatibility with the EMSs. In addition, the Cabinet Office is also working closely<br>with EMS providers to ensure that all systems used by EROs are fully prepared to manage<br>the changes required as part of the reforms to the annual canvass.</p><p>The Government does not hold any information on the compatibility of software used by<br>the Electoral Commission with that used by local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 09/09/2019 10:21:52 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2019 answer text <p>It has never been more important for civil servants to understand devolution. As we leave the EU a whole range of powers will return from Brussels and the Civil Service must be ready to understand how those powers interact with the devolution settlements.</p><p>My department champions devolution capability right across the Civil Service through the flagship Devolution and You programme. Our learning and development offer is extensive, ranging from online training to immersive workshops, work shadowing and written guidance. Departments and devolved administrations also create tailored devolution training on their specific policy areas and priorities.</p><p>We are constantly reviewing Devolution and You to develop additional training. For example, we are working right now on enhancing our work shadowing and interchange scheme so more civil servants can spend time directly working in different administrations and different parts of the UK.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 05/09/2019 14:37:36 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
