question text	To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what recent estimate he has made of the level of tariffs that could be applied by both the UK and EU to food exports in the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal.
tabling member constituency	Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill

uin	224358
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>Upon leaving the EU, the UK will be responsible for its own independent tariff regime. The UK will not be responsible for the tariffs the EU sets on its imports. The EU has stated through its technical notices that it will apply the EU’s Common External Tariff to UK exports in the event of a no deal, including on food products. The Government’s tariff schedule for a no deal scenario is being finalised. Once a final decision has been taken, we will bring forward legislation to the House and communicate this in an appropriate way for a market sensitive announcement.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 26/02/2019 10:09:07 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

We have recently undertaken a series of nation roadshows for operational colleagues to promote both the childcare costs offer under Universal Credit and the wider government’s childcare offer. We continue to work with other government departments to ensure parents have the information they need to make the best childcare choice for their family.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 26/02/2019 11:17:32 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>(a)The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) does not prioritise the collection of enforcement charges over on-going maintenance and arrears. Only when all the money due to children, along with any associated collection fees, has been collected, will the CMS collect the remaining charges associated with the case, including enforcement charges. The only exception would be where an enforcement charge forms part of a liability order, which would be collected alongside the other debt associated with that order.</p><p>(b)The system does have the Manual Allocation capability, which enables a caseworker to allocate money received across any outstanding liability on a case</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 26/02/2019 10:41:24 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

uin	224306
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting children and young people to improve their health and wellbeing, and to protect them from excessive or inappropriate caring responsibilities that can impact on their education.</p><p>The cross-government ‘Carers Action Plan’ (published June 2018), a 2 year programme of tailored work to support unpaid carers of all ages, aims to improve the identification of young carers; improving their educational opportunities and outcomes; providing support to young carers, particularly to vulnerable children; and improving access to services. The Children in Need review is also identifying how to spread best practice on raising educational outcomes.</p><p>The Department for Education provides schools with £2.4 billion each year in additional funding through the pupil premium to support disadvantaged pupils. Each eligible pupil attracts £1,320 to primary schools and £935 to secondary schools. Eligibility for the pupil premium is based largely on current or past claims for free school meals. Some research with young carers aged 14-16 suggested that around 60% already attract the pupil premium through their eligibility for free school meals.</p><p>We expect schools to make effective use of their pupil premium and do not tell them how to use it. Schools know their pupils best and will spend the grant to meet pupil needs, which may include needs arising from a caring role. Schools are held to account for their pupil premium use through school inspection and information in performance tables, and most schools are required to publish details about their pupil premium strategy and its impact.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 26/02/2019 12:09:13 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
