answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The existing scheme of UK procurement rules, which implement the EU public procurement directives, will be preserved under the Repeal Bill when the UK leaves the European Union, with relevant adjustments necessary to ensure legal operability. This will give legal certainty and continuity to businesses, contracting authorities, and employees, on day one of Exit.</p><p>We will use opportunities offered by our exit from the EU to carefully consider longer-term options for the UK's defence procurement rules. However it would be wrong to set out unilateral positions in advance of the negotiating process, and we cannot provide further details about the possible outcomes at this stage.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 11/07/2017 15:08:32 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government believes that all students should have access to a well rounded education, through a broad and balanced curriculum.</p><p>The English Baccalaureate (EBacc) comprises the following subjects at GCSE: English, mathematics, the sciences (including computer science), history or geography and a language. The EBacc has been designed to be limited in its size in order to provide a rigorous academic core whilst leaving space in the curriculum for pupils to study other subjects of their choice. On average, pupils in state funded schools enter nine GCSEs and equivalent qualifications, rising to more than ten for some pupils. As the EBacc covers up to eight GCSEs, this leaves room for other choices, including creative, artistic and technical subjects.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s response to the consultation on the EBacc, setting out our policy, will be published in due course.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 11/07/2017 15:12:21 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
