answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>The department publishes educational performance data for schools and colleges in England based on the performance of students at the end of key stage 4 (age 16) and for 16 to18 year olds, regardless of the institution they attend. Data can be found here: <a href="https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Further education colleges with 14 to 16 year old provision are included in the secondary performance data, as secondary accountability measures apply to these colleges. Just 17 of the 5,516 institutions with pupils completing key stage 4 in 2017 were further education colleges.</p><p> </p><p>The secondary floor standard, which is the minimum standard for pupil attainment and/or progress that the government expects schools to meet, also applies to further education colleges with 14 to 16 year old provision, as they are state-funded mainstream education providers for this age group. Floor standards do not apply to special schools, independent schools, pupil referral units, alternative provision or hospital schools.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 20/02/2018 14:52:07 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government Construction Strategy committed government departments to use Project Bank Accounts for their projects unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. A certain amount of contracts with Carillion had used Project Bank Accounts but the complexity of the contracting structure is such that it is not possible for the Official Receiver at this stage in the liquidation process to say why they were not used in relation to all contracts.</p><p>We continue to work with public sector construction procurers to drive the use of Project Banks Accounts to facilitate faster, more transparent and certain payments in the construction supply chain. This will ease the cash flow through the system and support closer working within the supply chain.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 20/02/2018 12:06:22 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2018 answer text <p>Information held by HMRC is subject to strict statutory control under the Commissioners of Revenue and Customs Act 2005 (CRCA). This restricts sharing of information by HMRC to specified purposes. Any request for information from HMRC not already specified in the CRCA 2005 must therefore have a statutory gateway in order to allow HMRC to share that information.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 14/02/2018 15:00:11 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
