I note that so far all bills associated with Brexit have been scheduled in accordance with the minimum intervals recommended in The Companion. As the Noble Lord will recall, from time to time the recommended minimum intervals have, with Usual Channels agreement, been dispensed with when it has been necessary for the House to do so. I undertake to work with my counterparts in the usual channels to ensure that business continues to be scheduled in a way which allows proper scrutiny.</p> answering member printed Baroness Evans of Bowes Park question first answered 21/01/2019 15:46:36 answering member 4329 label Biography information for Baroness Evans of Bowes Park

For example, the new St Mungo’s RSI hostel in Bristol takes clients with dogs, as does emergency accommodation in St Edmundsbury and Nottingham. The RSI funded floating London hub – that moves between boroughs and is currently in Westminster – also accepts dogs into their service. Moreover, as a result of RSI funding, Birmingham has linked closely with Dogs On the Streets (DOTS). This organisation has significantly helped in working with entrenched rough sleepers who have dogs and other pets. As with the complex needs of any rough sleeper, we try and ensure someone having a dog, or any pet, is not a barrier to them getting the help they require.</p><p>This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping.

My Department will be notifying the local authority of the outcome very shortly. Nottinghamshire is also one of the 45 areas across England with whom we are working to co-develop Forward Funding projects with up to £4.6 billion of funding available to unlock a potential 450,000 homes in areas where housing need is greatest. For Forward Funding schemes in co-development, there is no guarantee of funding. It is still a competitive process, and following co-development, these areas will be required to submit business cases prior to final funding decisions being made.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 16/01/2019 16:33:02 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	uin	HL12648
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>Universities are autonomous from government, and consequently control the criteria used to determine admissions. We are aware that some universities, notably those that comprise the Russell Group, identify the A level subjects most likely to facilitate entry to university. However, many other higher education institutions are guided simply by UCAS calculations of tariff points, which give equal weighting to A levels, regardless of subject. The government recognises the importance of arts subjects, including music. Students’ ability to make informed choices is at the heart of our recent reforms to higher education. The department is increasing the information available to students to ensure they can make informed choices about what and where to study.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 16/01/2019 12:45:22 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
