answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2018 answer text <p>The Department takes the issue of asbestos in schools seriously and is committed to supporting schools, local authorities and academy trusts to fulfil their duty to manage asbestos safely.</p><p>It is the responsibility of the duty holder to ensure that any asbestos in their schools is safely managed in compliance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. For maintained schools, the duty holder is typically a governing body or local authority. For academies, the duty holder is typically an academy trust. Duty holders are already required to have an asbestos management plan in place where asbestos is present or is likely to be present. Management plans must be reviewed and revised at regular intervals, and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the relevant regulator.</p><p>The Department launched the Asbestos Management Assurance Process on 1 March 2018. This process will enable Responsible Bodies to provide an assurance declaration that their schools are complying with the regulations. The process was developed to help the Department to improve its understanding of asbestos management in schools. Through working with the HSE, the Department can help local authorities, governing bodies and academy trusts to manage asbestos-related issues effectively.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 27/06/2018 11:32:15 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assistance his Department gives to people just above the threshold for repayment of their student loans.

uin	155286
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2018 answer text <p>Borrowers earning just above the repayment threshold will make relatively small repayments as the repayment amount is based on paying 9% (for Plan 1 and Plan 2 loans) or 6% (for Post-graduate loans) of income above the repayment threshold. The repayment thresholds are currently £18,330 for Plan 1 loans, £25,000 for Plan 2 loans, £21,000 post graduate loans. For example a borrower with a Plan 2 loan with an income of £26,000 a year, will pay £90 per year (or £7.50 per month). Borrowers earning below the repayment threshold pay nothing at all.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 27/06/2018 13:55:52 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

Local authorities and trusts are responsible for their own support contracts. The Department contacted affected local authorities and academy trusts ahead of Carillion’s failure to ensure that they had appropriate contingency plans in place for services provided by Carillion. The Department is continuing to work with local authorities and trusts who still have contracts with Carillion to ensure that any disruption is minimised. The Government is supporting the Official Receiver so that services to schools can continue until alternative arrangements are put in place.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 27/06/2018 13:16:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
