answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>The Department takes the issue of asbestos in schools very seriously. We have recently updated and improved our published guidance for schools, which clearly states that if accidental exposure to asbestos has occurred, the duty holder must inform the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The HSE may investigate if major issues are raised where a duty holder’s compliance with their legal duties is called into question.</p><p>We also recently carried out a data collection in schools on how they manage asbestos to understand how they were complying with their duties, and have published the findings. We plan to seek further assurances from duty holders to ensure that asbestos management is compliant with legislation and guidance across their education estates.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/03/2017 14:20:59 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the announcement made by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Budget Statement, 16 March 2016, Official Report, column 963, on a fair national funding formula, how £500 million of funding has been allocated to date; and how much is allocated for future spending.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>We have protected school funding so the amount per pupil remains the same during this Parliament. We will be spending an additional £500 million over and above this amount as we introduce the national funding formula. Of this £500 million, we are spending an extra £200 million a year in 2018-19 and 2019-20 on schools. This allows us to combine increases in funding of up to 5.5% in the first two years of the national funding formula with significant protection for those schools due to lose funding. Funding for pupils with a high level of special educational needs is also increasing, which allows us to provide increases of up to 6% in the first two years of the funding formula and protection so that no local authority loses any funding for high needs.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/03/2017 14:16:21 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	HL6189
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2017 answer text <p>The policy work that underpinned the reforms introduced by the Higher Education and Research Bill (HER Bill) was largely undertaken by civil servants and drew on previous published material including, for example, the Gaskell Review that was prepared for Universities UK. This material was referenced in the Green Paper published in October 2015 and again in the White Paper in May 2016 that preceded the introduction of the HER Bill.</p><p>BEIS commissioned Deloitte to undertake preliminary organisational design work ahead of the establishment of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), working with BEIS, the UKRI Interim Chair and senior leaders from the existing Partner Organisations which will form UKRI. The brief was to set out high level organisation design principles, assumptions and options for UKRI consistent with the framework set out by the White Paper and the HER Bill. The work was completed in October 2016 as preliminary specialist advice for BEIS officials and ministers to inform further organisational design work being carried out within BEIS and hence it is not planned to publish the commissioned report.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 30/03/2017 16:37:56 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
