tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL3862
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2022 answer text <p>The government understands that people are worried about the cost of living challenges ahead. That’s why decisive action has been taken to support households across the UK through cost of living challenges ahead, whilst remaining fiscally responsible.</p><p> </p><p>On 17th November, the Government has announced further support for next year designed to target the most vulnerable households. This cost of living support is worth £26 billion in 2023-24, in addition to benefits uprating, which is worth £11 billion to working age households and people with disabilities. This support for 2023-24 is in addition to the generous support already in place to support households this winter.</p><p> </p><p>A 'wellbeing economy' starts from the idea that public interests should determine economics.

To help key public services continue to deliver, the government is prioritising further funding in the next two years to support the healthcare system and schools. The government has also recommitted to tackling climate change and delivering our net zero emissions targets by 2050.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 05/12/2022 16:42:01 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon on 5 July (HL1232), what further steps they have taken in Nigeria to (1) "promote intercommunal and interfaith dialogue", and (2) "continue to call for solutions that address the complex underlying causes of violence".
tabling member printed	Baroness Cox
uin	HL3862
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government is concerned by increasing insecurity in Nigeria, including the rise in both criminal violence and intercommunal violence. We are also concerned by increasing vigilantism in response. We condemn all violence against civilians in Nigeria. We continue to promote intercommunal and interfaith dialogue. Our High Commissioner and her team regularly visit states affected by violence to engage with state governments, civil society, faith and community leaders and affected communities. Most recently, British High Commission officials visited Plateau state in October 2021, where they met with a range of interlocutors, including Christian and Muslim leaders, who recognised the causes of the intercommunal violence are complex and relate frequently to criminality, competition for resources and failures of governance.</p><p>On 1 November the Minister for Africa raised insecurity in Nigeria with Foreign Minister Onyeama in the margins of the COP26 summit in Glasgow. The Prime Minister also discussed insecurity with President Buhari in the margins of the Global Education Summit in July. We will continue to urge and support the Nigerian Government to take action to implement long-term solutions that address the root causes of violence.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park grouped question UIN HL3863 question first answered 18/11/2021 12:43:59 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

uin	HL3862
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>We are relieved that Mrs Zaghari-Ratcliffe was temporarily released on March 17. While her further extension is a welcome step, we continue to urge the Iranian Government to immediately release her - and all UK dual nationals arbitrarily detained in Iran - to enable them to return to their families in the UK. The Foreign Secretary raised this with Foreign Minister Zarif on 16 March and Minister of State for the Middle East with the Iranian Ambassador on 26 March. Our Ambassador in Tehran consistently raises all of our dual national detainees with the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 18/05/2020 12:35:09 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>The UK's position on the status of Jerusalem is clear and long-standing: it should be determined in a negotiated settlement between the Israelis and the Palestinians, and Jerusalem should ultimately be the shared capital of the Israeli and Palestinian states. In line with relevant Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 2334, we regard East Jerusalem as part of the Occupied Palestinian Territories. We will continue to make our position clear with all of our international partners.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/12/2017 15:31:01 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the reasons for the UK's static position over the last three years, and in particular its decline in the maths ratings, with reference to the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment results for 2015.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL3862
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to raising standards in mathematics to reflect the best practice in the world. In the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2015, 15 year olds in the UK perform at the OECD average in mathematics. Although the UK dropped one place in the PISA rankings for mathematics since 2012 – from 26<sup>th</sup> to 27<sup>th</sup> – five more countries took part in the study and the UK’s score of 494 remained the same from 2012 to 2015.</p><p>We continue to reform our primary and secondary curriculum and standards. The first cohort is due to take the new GCSEs in mathematics next summer. The pupils who sat the 2015 PISA assessment in England were born around the year 2000 and have experienced little of the changes introduced since 2010, and virtually none of the reforms in primary education.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 15/12/2016 16:14:51 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2015 answer text <p>The Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) does not hold this information. Before 2012, CICA did not record the specific crime of which their applicants had been a victim. This was because payments are based primarily on the injuries sustained rather than the crime of which they were a victim.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 05/01/2015 15:26:28 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
