answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>We know how important it is that young people understand the dangers of knife crime. Schools can currently choose to include lessons on weapons awareness and gangs as part of their school curriculum.</p><p> </p><p>Through the Children and Social Work Act 2017, the Government is making the subjects of Relationships Education compulsory in primary schools, and Relationships and Sex Education compulsory in secondary schools. These subjects will help young people understand safe, respectful and positive relationships and appropriate ways of resolving conflict. The Act also provides a power for the Secretary of State to make Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education (or elements therein) mandatory in all schools.</p><p> </p><p>The Department recently conducted a wide-ranging engagement process, including a public call for evidence, on the scope of the subjects, and on the status of PSHE. Departmental officials are assessing the evidence gathered during the engagement process, to support decisions on subject content and on the status of PSHE. The Department plans to publish the results of the engagement process shortly, alongside a consultation on draft regulations and accompanying statutory guidance, before laying the regulations in the House for debate.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 14/05/2018 16:51:29 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2018 answer text <p>The UK strongly condemns any language or actions that could stir up hatred and prejudice. Our sustained support to the Palestinian Authority (PA) is underpinned by a Memorandum of Understanding which requires the PA to commit to the principle of non-violence and to tackle language and avoid actions that could incite violence or hatred. The UK continues to urge the Palestinian leadership to uphold this principle, as is demonstrated by my statement regarding President Abbas’ recent remarks at the Palestinian National Congress, which were deeply concerning. On the whole President Abbas and the Palestinian Authority have shown a commitment to non-violence and a two-state solution. President Abbas restated his commitment to the two-state solution on Friday 4 May, and through our financial assistance, the UK will continue to support a stable PA which can act as an effective partner for peace with Israel.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/05/2018 13:33:57 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2018 answer text <p>In 2018/19, all schools in Enfield North attracted more cash funding through the national funding formula, compared to their 2017/18 baselines.</p><p>All schools, with the exception of new and growing schools, attracted more per pupil funding. New and growing schools typically see their per pupil funding decrease as they grow in size, while receiving significant increases in their total budgets. One new and growing all-through school in Enfield, and 23 new and growing schools in London (18 primaries, 3 secondaries and 2 all-through) attract less funding per pupil in 2018-19 than they did in 2017-18.</p><p>Final decisions on individual schools’ budgets are taken by the local authority, based on the local funding formula.</p><p>In 2019/20, no school will attract reduced cash funding per pupil through the national funding formula. Given that funding follows the pupil, individual schools may attract less funding in total if the number of pupils on roll decreases. The Department will publish notional funding formula allocations for 2019/20 later this year after updating calculations using the latest autumn census data.</p><p>Funding after 2019/20 will depend on the outcomes of the next Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/05/2018 16:33:04 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>Research shows that many people come onto Universal Credit with pre-existing rent arrears. We also know that arrears are usually temporary and the majority of claimants do succeed in paying their rent, managing their monthly payments and clearing their arrears over time. In our research, the proportion of Universal Credit claimants who were in arrears at the start of their claim fell by a third after four months.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently carrying out further analysis of this issue with a number of housing providers, to investigate and understand the true level of rent arrears for their tenants, what is causing them and any impacts Universal Credit may be having. It will be published when completed.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/05/2018 11:33:31 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
