answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>Figures on public sector expenditure at a national level are part of the Government’s Country and Regional Analysis (CRA) statistics.</p><p> </p><p>The statistics include spend on transport by all public sector organisations including the Department for Transport, Local Authorities, Public Corporations (in the case of transport, this is mainly spend by London Underground) and other government departments including devolved administrations.</p><p> </p><p>Please note that much of the responsibility for transport in Wales and, in particular Scotland, is devolved to the Welsh and Scottish administrations. For example, responsibility for strategic roads and local roads in Wales is devolved to the Welsh Government and Welsh local authorities respectively, who are therefore responsible for related funding decisions.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>When comparing expenditure across regions a number of factors should be considered. For example, when expenditure is presented on a “per head of population” basis, it does not account for the pressure that large numbers of commuters and visitors from outside of a region can add to the transport networks. In addition, larger built-up areas tend to make greater use of mass public transport systems, and these will generate fares income which contributes to their operating costs.</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Public expenditure on all transport, by all public sector bodies in 2017-18 (<em>£ per head of population)</em></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>(a) Wales</p></td><td><p>£410</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(b) England</p></td><td><p>£475</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>(c) Scotland</p></td><td><p>£667</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><em>Source: Table A.15 - </em><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/country-and-regional-analysis-2018" target="_blank"><em>https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/country-and-regional-analysis-2018</em></a></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 07/10/2019 14:24:58 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>The Department values the three English A-levels and keeps the total number of English A-level entries under constant review. Overall, English is one of the top four most popular A-level subjects and has been a subject of choice for large numbers of students over the past 10 years. Studying English language or literature at A-level builds students’ understanding and appreciation of the English language and the depth and power of our rich and varied literary heritage. It also helps develop valuable critical and analytical skills. The Department has sought to encourage take up of English literature A-level through the 16-18 performance tables.</p><p> </p><p>The Department understands that students choose their A-level qualifications carefully in order to keep their future career options open. Science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects are required for studying a wide range of courses, and STEM skills are in shortage in the economy. The Department has seen total entries to STEM A-level subjects increase in 2019 compared to last year, despite a small decrease in the population, with an increase in the proportion of girls taking STEM subjects (3.2% increase). Entries in STEM subjects have now increased by 26.2% since 2010. Entries to history and geography have also increased this summer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 07/10/2019 16:08:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
