answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2019 answer text <p>The government places great value upon international exchange and collaboration in education and training. This will continue to be the case after we leave the EU and establish new relationships with academic institutions across Europe and the rest of the world.</p><p>If it is in the UK’s interest, we will seek to participate in some specific EU programmes as a third country. The draft political declaration envisages the possibility of UK participation in EU programmes like Erasmus+ and the negotiation of general terms of participation. However, my officials are preparing for all eventualities, including no deal, and they are considering a wide range of options with regard to the future of international exchange. These include potential domestic alternatives to the Erasmus+ programme for the 2020/21 academic year and beyond, should we need them.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 22/10/2019 11:55:01 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

tabling member constituency	Easington
tabling member printed	Grahame Morris
uin	985
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The Department follows expert advice from the Health and Safety Executive regulator that when asbestos-containing materials are undamaged, and not in locations where they are vulnerable to damage, they should be left undisturbed and their condition monitored. Blanket or accelerated removal of asbestos could potentially be dangerous, as it releases harmful fibres that would otherwise be contained.</p><p>The amount of asbestos in schools will reduce over time through rebuilding and refurbishment of the estate. When asbestos cannot be effectively managed in situ, it should be removed and the Department will provide condition funding which can be used to manage asbestos safely.</p><p>Since 2015, the Department has allocated over £7.4 billion to those responsible for school buildings for essential maintenance, including removing or encapsulating asbestos when it is the safest course of action to do so.</p><p>Through the Priority School Building Programme, the Department is rebuilding or refurbishing buildings in the worst condition at over 500 schools across the country. Asbestos was a factor in prioritising buildings for the programme.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/10/2019 16:30:26 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	1085
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>This is not a fiscal assessment by the Government but is drawn from an independent report by Oxford Economics in 2018 that analyses a number of factors. Amongst its findings are that independent schools in the UK save the taxpayer £3.5 billion every year by providing places for pupils who could otherwise be expected to take up a place in the state-funded sector.</p><p>In addition, the report found that the schools belonging to the ISC’s member associations generated £3.5 billion in annual tax revenues. The report also found that, overall, the schools contributed £11.6 billion to the UK economy in 2017.</p><p>The full report from Oxford Economics is available here: <a href="https://www.isc.co.uk/research/independent-schools-economic-impact-report-2018/" target="_blank">https://www.isc.co.uk/research/independent-schools-economic-impact-report-2018/</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/10/2019 16:40:20 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
