question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress has been made to in extending the cadet forces scheme in state secondary schools in (1) 2010–11, (2) 2011–12, (3) 2012–13, and (4) to date in 2013–14; what quantitative assessment they will make of any improvement in the behaviour of pupils involved with the scheme; and what plans they have to extend the scheme in the future.

uin	HL6173
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2014 answer text <p>In June 2012 the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister announced the Government's Cadet Expansion Programme (CEP) to increase the number of state funded schools with their own military cadet force unit. The programme has been allocated £10.85 million by the Department for Education (DfE) and Ministry of Defence (MOD) so that more young people can benefit from the military cadet experience in school. The agreed DfE/MOD target is to establish 100 new units in state schools by the end of the academic year 2015/16. The CEP covers academic years from 2012/13 to 2015/16. At the end of academic year 2012/13, 21 new units had been established. A further 17 have been set up this academic year.</p><p>However, recent evidence shows that a military ethos – Service values and Service personnel – make a real difference in schools. Setting up a cadet forces scheme is a long-term way of embedding a military ethos in schools. We are commissioning plans to collect quantitative evidence on the impact of new cadet units.</p><p>The Government's aspiration is that all schools that want a cadet unit should be able to have one by 2020.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is the expected timetable from now until completion of the nuclear power stations which they have authorised at (1) Hinkley Point, and (2) Sizewell.
tabling member printed	Lord Marlesford
uin	HL6193
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2014 answer text <p>EDF's current aim is for the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station to begin generating electricity in 2023. The UK Government and EDF Group reached commercial agreement on the key terms of a proposed investment contract for the Hinkley Point C, details of which were published on 21 October 2013. Furthermore, the publication of the Opening Decision on the Hinkley Point C State aid case by the European Commission is another important step forward in the consideration of the case and an investigation is a standard part of the State aid process for cases like Hinkley. The Commission have opened a public consultation on 7<sup>th</sup> March 2014 on their Opening Decision and Government welcome all to participate in this.</p><p> </p><p>No date has been set for Sizewell C to begin generating electricity. But EDF completed last year the first stage of the local consultation which is necessary before an application for development consent can be made.</p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 24/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in the light of the disavowal by HM Chief Inspector of Prisons and HM inspector of Constabulary of the Metropolitan Police's statement that they had found the use of strip searches of children in custody to be "proportionate and appropriate", whether they will institute an inquiry into the Metropolitan Police's practice of such searches.

uin	HL6208
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>It is important that the police have the ability to conduct a thorough search of any suspect (irrespective of age) whilst in police custody, not only to investigate crimes of which they are suspected, but also for their own safety whilst in custody. The use of these powers is an operational matter for the Chief Constable of each police force in England and Wales. However, their use must be in accordance with the safeguards set out in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Code of Practice C. <br><br>The Government takes the welfare of children very seriously. It is for this reason that the Home Secretary has asked Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary to include the use of the strip search procedure on children as part of the thematic inspection into the treatment of vulnerable people in police custody, which was commissioned in January.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 28/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
