answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2019 answer text <p>This Department has not made an estimate of the costs of equalising widowers’ and children’s pension benefits.</p><p>As part of the Government’s review of survivor benefits in occupational pension schemes in 2014, the Government Actuary’s Department estimated the expected additional cost for public service schemes if scheme benefits were retrospectively enhanced. The review looked at all survivor benefits, for example those for civil partners, same-sex married couples and widowers. It was estimated that the total cost would be in the region of £2.9 billion across the public sector, which equates to £600 million for the Teachers’ Pension Scheme. Included in the £600 million figure is an immediate payment in relation to those who are already in receipt of a survivor pension of approximately £200 million.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/05/2019 17:08:37 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	247748
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The issues surrounding serious violence, anti-social behaviour and absence and exclusion from school are complex, which is why we are working with the education and care sectors, the Home Office and other Departments as part of a comprehensive, multi-agency response.</p><p> </p><p>The externally led review of exclusions, led by Edward Timpson CBE, which is exploring how head teachers use exclusion in practice and difference in exclusion rates across England, will report shortly. Whilst exclusion is a marker for increased risk of being both a victim and perpetrator of crime, care must be taken not to draw a simple causal link between exclusions and knife crime as there is no clear evidence that this is the case. Therefore, whilst preventing knife crime requires a wider response than just exclusions, the report will help build the Department’s understanding of the use and impact of exclusion.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital that young people who have been excluded from school are safe and receive high-quality education and support to get them back on track. The Department knows there are many remarkable Alternative Provision (AP) settings where committed staff work together to ensure high-quality outcomes for their pupils. The Government is determined to ensure this best practice informs the reform of AP, which is why independent research was commissioned last year to better understand how AP works, and what works well.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 02/05/2019 13:53:19 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
