question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 14 November (HL11166) relating to continued financial support of the quality improvement programme delivered by the Twins and Multiple Births Association which currently ends in March 2019, when they expect to confirm their business plans for future grant funding.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL11849
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Department’s Business Planning process takes place annually between December and March each year. Expenditure, including any awards made through grant funding, cannot be confirmed until the Business Planning process has been concluded and budgets for the relevant financial year approved. Opportunities to apply for grant funding from the Department are posted on GOV.UK as they arise.</p><p>Since the Twins and Multiple Births Association’s (TAMBA) award in 2015/16, funding to the voluntary sector has been reshaped and the Innovation, Excellence and Strategic Development Fund, under which TAMBA received their award, no longer accepts applications.</p><p>The successor scheme is the Health and Wellbeing Fund, the second round of which was recently launched for applications. The theme of this round relates to children and young people’s mental health. However, the Department’s Business Planning for 2019/20 has not yet concluded, and therefore the scheme remains subject to the approval of departmental budgets and its launch does not commit the Department to the funding of any grant awards.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 10/12/2018 14:45:37 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 14 November (HL11167), how they intend to ensure that the findings from the interim report of the Twins and Multiple Births Association Maternity Engagement Project are delivered in practice.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL11850
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>In 2017, the Department funded the Twins and Multiple Births Association Maternity Engagement Project. The results from the interim report suggest that increased adherence to relevant National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidance gave better outcomes for multiple births. This further reinforces the Department’s expectation that all health professionals working with multiple pregnancies adhere to the relevant NICE guidance.</p><p> </p><p>To reduce variance in the levels of maternity care across trusts, all maternity services now have one obstetrician, one midwife and one board level Maternity Safety Champion jointly responsible for championing maternity safety, spreading learning and encouraging best practice within their organisations. This includes adherence to NICE guidelines on issues such as antenatal care for multiple pregnancies.</p><p> </p><p>We look forward to reviewing the final project report, which we understand is due for publication in mid-2019.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 06/12/2018 14:59:59 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 13 November (HL11168) relating to the findings of the Twins and Multiple Births Association Maternity Engagement Project, what assessment they have made of the likely impact on reducing twin stillbirths, neonatal death and neonatal admissions of using Maternity Safety Champions to embed this work.
tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL11851
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>As outlined in the <em>Safer Maternity Care</em> action plan in 2016, networks such as Maternity Clinical Networks, are most effective when built on supportive multi-professional relationships and collaborative working with a focus on specific initiatives to improve care quality.</p><p>Maternity Safety Champions at every level – trust, regional and national – are working across regional, organisational and service boundaries to develop strong partnerships and to create the professional culture and leadership needed to deliver better care. They play a central role in ensuring that mothers and babies, including in cases of multiple pregnancy, receive the safest care possible.</p><p>Findings in the recent <em>MBRRACE-UK Perinatal Mortality Surveillance Report</em>, released earlier this year, showed the stillbirth rate for United Kingdom twins almost halving between 2014-16, a fall of 44%. In addition, neonatal deaths among UK twins has dropped 30%. NHS England collects neonatal unit admission data. However, this data cannot be disaggregated to identify admissions of twins.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 06/12/2018 14:59:26 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL11620
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made. The Plug-in Car Grant has helped the plug-in hybrid market become more established, and the Government will now focus its support on zero emission models like pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell cars. We want to see at least 50%, and as many as 70%, of new car sales being ultra low emission by 2030. This is in line with the Committee for Climate Change progress report. The Government will continue to work with industry to achieve our ambitions, and will review progress towards them by 2025.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 04/12/2018 13:06:39 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government has considered this issue in the context of our work on the UK’s exit from the EU. It has concluded that the reciprocal arrangements between UK Collective Management Organisations (CMOs) and EU CMOs to collect royalties from EU countries and distribute to creators in the UK are private commercial agreements which are expected to continue after the UK has exited the European Union.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 30/11/2018 11:51:25 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

tabling member printed	Lord Jones of Cheltenham
uin	HL11624
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2018 answer text <p>The Cooperative Accord on Culture and Education proposed in the White Paper demonstrates our undiminished commitment to supporting European culture. The Political Declaration is a significant step towards delivering on this proposal, setting out that the UK and EU will establish terms for UK participation in EU programmes in areas of shared interest, including culture and education, and wider dialogue and exchanges with a view to identify opportunities to cooperate, share best practice and act together.</p><p>The next generation of EU programmes are currently under negotiation in the EU. The Government will make decisions on participation in specific programmes in light of these negotiations and wider UK priorities. Where the UK does participate, the Political Declaration sets out that it should do so on the basis of a set of agreed terms and conditions. These terms ensure that the UK will make a fair and appropriate financial contribution, UK participants will be treated fairly, and that the UK will be included in management and consultation of the programme reflecting the level of UK involvement. Both sides will be able to ensure that programme funding is managed properly.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 06/12/2018 17:00:15 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
