answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department is not generally responsible for issuing sanctions to those involved in exam malpractice, which will be a decision for the individual exam board following guidance from the Joint Council for Qualifications, a membership body representing the main GCSE and A level exam boards. Where there is an indication of criminal activity the boards will involve the police.</p><p>An exception to this is when the individual involved in the breach of security is a teacher. In this case, the Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA), on behalf of my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, may investigate allegations of serious misconduct that are referred to it, and can decide to prohibit the individual from carrying out teaching work. Prohibition from teaching has a lifetime effect, but in some circumstances an application to have the prohibition set aside may be allowed after a specified period of time of no less than two years. Where a school dismisses a teacher for serious misconduct, or may have referred had the teacher not resigned, they have a duty to consider referring the matter to the TRA.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 24/06/2019 16:21:00 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2019 answer text <p>Local Industrial Strategies are developed locally and agreed with government. In the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-industrial-strategies-policy-prospectus" target="_blank">policy prospectus</a> published in October 2018, we set out that Local Industrial Strategies should be the product of consultation with businesses, a broad range of public partners and civil society. In addition to this, the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/strengthened-local-enterprise-partnerships" target="_blank">‘Strengthened Local Enterprise Partnerships’ Review</a> published in July 2018 made clear that Local Enterprise Partnerships should operate to the highest standards of accountability and transparency and ensure the communities they represent can influence the economic plans for the area.</p><p> </p><p>To be successful, Local Industrial Strategies must be developed from the bottom up and led by those who best know the needs of local economies. This locally led approach means Local Enterprise Partnerships and Mayoral Combined Authorities should choose how they work in partnership with both public and private stakeholders and determine the best way to consult the public. Places have taken different approaches to public consultation; the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/west-midlands-local-industrial-strategy" target="_blank">West Midlands</a> and <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/greater-manchester-local-industrial-strategy" target="_blank">Greater Manchester</a> Local Industrial Strategies, published recently, demonstrate this.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst grouped question UIN 266284 question first answered 26/06/2019 11:53:07 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
