Contracts with Ayanda Capital and Pestfix pre-dated the formalised eight stage assurance process but these suppliers were evaluated by officials on financial standing, technical compliance and ability to perform the contract. The contracts are awarded by the appropriate Departmental accounting officer in line with our terms and conditions.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 13/07/2021 13:25:10 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill previous answer version 12073 answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2021 answer text <p>Departments are responsible for setting the terms and conditions of employment for their civil servants, in accordance with the rules of the Civil Service Management Code. The Civil Service Management Code only binds organisations that employ civil servants. Departments covered by the Civil Service Management Code are expected to communicate novel and contentious workforce proposals to the Cabinet Office as made clear by paragraph 4.</p><p>The Government has been very clear that threatening fire and rehire as a negotiating tactic is completely unacceptable. We always expect employers to treat employees fairly and in the spirit of partnership working with trade unions, where relevant, constructively.</p><p>Contracting Authorities decide the terms and conditions of the contracts they enter into with suppliers, and it is for suppliers to establish the pay, terms and conditions for their employees. Employee terms and conditions are protected by employment law when services are transferred between suppliers under Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. We closely monitor strategic suppliers to improve performance, ensure value for money and to deliver policy objectives.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez grouped question UIN 15259 15260 15261 15262 question first answered 17/06/2021 16:20:11 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>In our response to question 1755, the Department for Education estimated that in January 2019, 530,000 3-4 year-olds were ineligible for 30 hours due to one or both of their parents not meeting the minimum income requirements (more than the equivalent to 16 hours a week at national minimum wage or national living wage which is currently £6,800 a year). This included families where one or both parents chose not to or were unable to work. Information about the exact number of children in each category is not readily available and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p>There is support available for parents with childcare costs outside of the free early education entitlements. For example, eligible families can get help with 85% of their childcare costs through Universal Credit, subject to a monthly limit of £646 for one child or £1108 for two or more children. Further information can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/universal-credit/what-youll-get</a>. Families can also get help with the costs of childcare from the Tax Free Childcare scheme.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 10/02/2020 16:26:15 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
