answer text <p>The 2014 Protocol to the Forced Labour Convention includes six specific articles with action for governments. We are confident that the UK already meets the requirements of these six articles in existing laws and regulations, which will be further strengthened through the provisions in the Modern Slavery Bill. UK compliance was thoroughly assessed as part of the negotiations of the Protocol in May and June 2014, at which the UK was represented.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government supports the Protocol to the 2014 Forced Labour Convention and intends to ratify it. A Written Ministerial Statement indicating the Government’s intention to ratify the Protocol was laid before Parliament on 7 January 2015. The Protocol was subsequently laid before Parliament on 6 February and must remain for 21 sitting days to allow scrutiny by both Houses.</p><p>On 24 March, at the end of the 21 sitting days, if neither House has indicated an objection to ratification of the Protocol, the next stage of the process may begin. There will not be sufficient time to complete this process prior to the dissolution of Parliament. However there is no deadline for ratifying the Protocol.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Office for National Statistics (ONS) publish annual outturn figures for R&amp;D expenditure here:<br><a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/rdit1/science--engineering-and-technology-statistics/2012/stb-set-2012.html#tab-Key-Points" target="_blank">http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/rdit1/science--engineering-and-technology-statistics/2012/stb-set-2012.html#tab-Key-Points</a> <br><br>The most recent publication, which includes expenditure figures to 2012 (financial year 2012/13) was published on 11 July 2014. The table below shows the latest estimates for Home Office and how they compare as a percentage to total departmental expenditure.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Published estimate of net spend on R &amp; D IN Home Office (current prices) </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Percentage of total Home Office expenditure </strong>(1)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>£42 million</p></td><td><p>0.31%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>£24 million</p></td><td><p>0.18%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>£18 million</p></td><td><p>0.14%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>(1) Taken as a percentage of the total departmental spending estimate from page 153 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2013/14<br><br>The change in the estimate of the R &amp; D spend in Home Office between 2010/11 and 2011/12 is largely explained by some structural changes in scientific teams <br>as well as a change in the method of estimation between the two years. The figures for 2011/12 also excluded the British Crime Survey responsibility for <br>which was transferred to the ONS the following year. In addition some significant savings on Home Office research contracts were made in both 2011/12 and 2012/13. <br><br>The government has also created new delivery mechanisms for services such as the locally accountable Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs), the new Police <br>ICT Company that provides vital support to the police and PCCs with tools to achieve value for money and operational effectiveness, and the creation of a <br>competitive market to provide Forensic Science Services to the police. These changes are likely to result in some R &amp; D investment being delivered outside the Home Office.<br><br>Overall our science and research programmes are flexible and respond to our policy and operational priorities. This leads to a changing expenditure profile between financial years as research is directed against current and emerging challenges.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

As part of our long-term economic <br>plan we have substantially reformed Government communications since the 2010 <br>General Election, abolishing the Central Office of Information and ensuring <br>that Government communications activity is better coordinated and more <br>effective. Thanks to these reforms we have halved the cost to taxpayers of <br>government communications since the 2010 General Election. The NAO has <br>confirmed that Government made savings of £378 million in each of the last two <br>financial years on proactive paid-for communications, compared to a 2009-10 <br>baseline. This is based on proactive (paid-for) communications spend of £589 million<br>in 2009/10, £216million in 2012/13 and £210m in 2013/14.<br><br>My department regularly publishes data on: www.data.gov.uk showing how public <br>money has been spent and how government is performing against its objectives <br>and goals.</p><p> </p>
