answer text <p> </p><p>Wherever possible, when responding to parliamentary questions for statistical data, the Electoral Commission aims to provide information that has not been previously published in full and in line with the Official Report's rules on the presentation of answers.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Where information has previously been published, such as in response to a previous parliamentary question or within one of the Commission's reports, it takes a view on whether it republishes the information or provides a link to where it is already published, on a case by case basis taking into account whether, for example, it would be helpful for it to be seen in its full context. Consideration of whether information is deposited in the Library includes whether the answer is longer than four pages and does not already exist in a consolidated format on a website.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>We have regular dialogue with South Africa on a range of issues, including regional interests, at both Ministerial and official level. The issue of political transition and that of successors to President Mugabe is a matter for the Zimbabwean people in line with the constitution of Zimbabwe. The UK remains keen to see a Zimbabwean government that delivers for its people and we will continue to do all we can to support a more democratic, stable and prosperous Zimbabwe.</p> more like this

answer text <p>HMRC requires specific legal authority or a ‘gateway' in order to be able to disclose information it holds in connection with its functions. Once this is in place, HMRC requires any disclosure of information to a public sector body to be governed by a robust Memorandum of Understanding. This will set out:</p><p> </p><p>· The legal basis for sharing the information;</p><p>· The agreed administrative arrangements, including timescales, persons involved, security arrangements and frequency of disclosure;</p><p>· The circumstances (if any) under which the data may be disclosed and the sanctions that protect against unlawful disclosure of the information; and</p><p>· The mechanism for maintaining an audit trail or record for HMRC of all external disclosures of data.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has a duty to ensure that any information transfers to a public sector body are legal and secure. HMRC also seeks an ongoing assurance that the transferred information will be treated in accordance with agreed standards and protocols. In addition, even where a legal gateway exists, any information disclosures must be compliant with both the Data Protection Act and the Human Rights Act.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

The report and the Government's Civil Service Reform plan noted that there was a long-standing weakness in digital capability.

answer text <p>Teaching about sex and relationship education (SRE) is already compulsory in maintained secondary schools, and academies are expected to provide SRE as part of a broad and balanced curriculum.</p><p>When teaching SRE, all schools must have regard to the Secretary of State's statutory guidance, which sets out that SRE should be age-appropriate. Schools should ensure SRE supports young people to develop positive values and a moral framework that will guide their decisions, judgments and behaviour. Schools are encouraged to develop their SRE practice with the support of specialist organisations and expert professionals who are best placed to provide schools with up-to-date materials and advice on changing technologies.</p><p>Schools will welcome the new supplementary advice, ‘Sex and relationships education (SRE) for the 21st century', published recently by the PSHE Association, the Sex Education Forum and Brook. This addresses changes in technology and legislation since 2000, and will equip teachers to help protect children and young people from inappropriate online content, including the dangers of pornography, and from online bullying, harassment and exploitation.</p><p> </p>
