answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>This is a devolved matter and the information provided therefore relates to England only.</p><p> </p><p>A number of Commonwealth countries have introduced either a ban or a levy on plastic bags. To achieve global change the UK has called on members of the Commonwealth Clean Ocean Alliance, which we lead with Vanuatu, to significantly reduce single-use carrier bags (SUCBs) by 2021.</p><p> </p><p>The Government currently has no plans to introduce a ban on SUCBs. However, we have already taken action to reduce the consumption of SUCBs in England through the minimum 5p levy which applies to large retailers. Additionally, we recently carried out a consultation to extend the charge to all retailers and to increase the charge to a minimum 10p. The outcome of that consultation will be published soon.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 15/04/2019 12:31:17 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

tabling member constituency	Romford
tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	242063
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2019 answer text <p>We believe that education, employment and training play a key role in improving the life chances of children who offend and reducing the likelihood of them reoffending.</p><p> </p><p>In 2016 we published a literature review of international evidence on what works in managing children and young people who offend. This indicated that educational engagement and attainment can be relevant to resettlement success and that children who return to school after offending and remain there are less likely to reoffend. Furthermore, research in relation to adult offenders has shown that offenders who gained PAYE employment within a year of being released from custody were less likely to re-offend.</p><p> </p><p>Education provision is at the heart of our reforms of youth secure provision. Our long term vision is of a youth secure estate based largely around secure schools -secure units that are registered as academies, run by child-focused, creative providers with experience in the education sector. We are also working to deliver reforms to education provision in the existing estate. We have devolved additional funds to YOI governors to commission additional educational, vocational and enrichment activities that best engage and meet the needs of the children in their establishments. This amounted to £0.3m in 18/19 and we are investing a further £1.8m in 19/20 across the four sites.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 16/04/2019 15:42:22 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>DCMS does not specifically record the contribution of the music industry to the UK economy. The Department does however, produce annual estimates of the contributions of all of its sectors (including the Creative Industries, and within that the ‘music, performing and visual arts’ sub-sector) to the UK economy, measuring GVA, imports and exports of goods and services, employment, and number of enterprises. These statistics are available online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/dcms-sectors-economic-estimates" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/collections/dcms-sectors-economic-estimates</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The ‘music, performing and visual arts’ sector contributed over £9.5bn to the UK economy in 2017. This contribution has increased by 69% since 2010 and has grown at more than twice the rate of the wider UK economy.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 12/04/2019 13:43:20 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
