answer text <p>As the COVID-19 pandemic showed, and the current outbreak of Mpox has reminded us, infectious diseases do not respect borders. That is why the Government is committed to working with our international partners to negotiate a Pandemic Accord (the Accord) that enhances global health security across the world.</p><p>The Government is satisfied that the Accord does not have implications for British sovereignty. No proposals have been introduced in negotiations that would cede sovereignty to the World Health Organization in making domestic decisions on national measures concerning public health. The Government would not accept any such proposals, in any case.</p><p>Agreeing a meaningful Accord is firmly in the global and the United Kingdom’s interest. An effective Accord should improve the world’s collective ability to prevent, detect, and respond to disease threats, and could stop some from becoming pandemics in the first place. The Government will decide whether to sign the Accord once the agreement has been finalised.</p>

Compliance with these obligations will be assessed by Ofcom at the end of June 2024, by when each operator has committed to have reached 88% geographic coverage of the UK, and 2027 when each operator has committed to have reached at least 90% geographic coverage of the UK.

answer text <p>At the Spring Budget 2020 following withdrawal from the EU the OBR estimated that there was £42.3bn more to spend on public services between 2020-21 and 2024-25 than would have been the case had we stayed in the EU. This additional spending has been included in the overall spending plans set out at Spending Reviews since we left the EU.</p><p>The financial settlement as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement ensures the UK only pays its past obligations as a departing Member State and does not relate to any continuing or future arrangements. As set out in the European Union Finances Statement 2023 (available in the library of the House and on Gov.uk), the UK is estimated to have paid £6.1bn in net liabilities in 2023 as part of this settlement.</p><p>Where the UK has decided it is in its interests to cooperate with the EU further, for instance on Horizon Europe, details of payments are set out in the relevant departments’ annual account.</p> more like this

answer text <p>It is important that processes relating to teacher misconduct are progressed without any political involvement. Decisions on whether to progress cases are taken independently by the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA).</p><p>An independent professional conduct panel is appointed to hear cases and determine whether the evidence proves unacceptable professional conduct, conduct that may bring the profession into disrepute, or a conviction of a relevant offence. If so, the professional conduct panel will make a recommendation to the Secretary of State for Education about whether to prohibit the individual from teaching.</p><p>In the case of Mr Joshua Sutcliffe, after hearing all live evidence and mitigations, the independent appointed panel made a recommendation to the Secretary of State decision maker to prohibit him from the teaching profession, with a two-year review period.</p><p>Following recommendation, the decision to impose a prohibition order is taken by a senior TRA official.</p><p>Although that decision is taken on behalf of the Secretary of State, neither she nor any other Minister in the department can have any involvement in these independent investigations, related processes, and decisions.</p><p>Mr Sutcliffe has appealed this decision to the High Court, as is his right. It is now for the High Court to carefully consider Mr Sutcliffe’s grounds of appeal. It would not be appropriate to comment on or discuss ongoing litigation further.</p><p> </p>
