These investors gave us confidence that there was sufficient demand to proceed with the IPO.</p><p> </p><p>We had nearly three-quarters of a million retail applications so their allocations were scaled back as they were for institutional investors. Given this high demand, Ministers decided to prioritise smaller investors and put in place a cut-off above £10,000 and give everyone below that the same number of shares. Around 95% of retail investors were allocated shares.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon

It sets out a range of approaches and methods that may be appropriate in a number of different appraisal circumstances. The valuation of preventing fatalities makes a contribution to the calculation of risk reduction in many situations and is used extensively by the Department for Transport among others. Department of Health policies are likely to impact on health and longevity. For the majority of these policies, the impacts will be quantified in terms of quality adjusted life years. The cost of producing a quality adjusted life year is used as part of the appraisal and evaluation of alternative health investments.</p> answering member constituency Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey answering member printed Danny Alexander question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1535 label Biography information for Danny Alexander

All projects have to be approved by ENTRUST as meeting specific criteria, to ensure the project benefits the wider community.The value of the landfill communities fund for 2014-15 will be reduced to £71 million. This reduction takes account of progress that environmental bodies have made to address the government's challenge to reduce unspent funds. The saving will be used to fund an equivalent one-off increase in Defra's budget to address waste crime. The government intends that environmental bodies' performance against the challenge is published once the final information is available later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Loughborough answering member printed Nicky Morgan grouped question UIN 196348 question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4027 label Biography information for Baroness Morgan of Cotes
