answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>Responsibility for providing a suitable full-time education for children of compulsory school age who are educated at home rests with the parents. Although local authorities do not have a power to monitor such provision on a routine basis, they are under a duty to identify children who are not receiving a suitable full-time education, and as part of that process will take appropriate steps to ensure that if a child is not being properly educated at home, a school attendance order is served. Published departmental guidance to local authorities on this matter is attached.</p><p>Children who are educated at home are not allocated a unique pupil number (UPN), although if the child had been in attendance at a state-funded school at some point before being withdrawn for home education, he or she would have been allocated a UPN at that point.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 01/11/2016 15:27:10 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash attachment 1 file name guidelines_for_las_on_elective_home_educationsecondrevisev2_0.pdf title HL2232 Elective Home Education guidance for LAs

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the reopening of the British Embassy in Iran, what plans they have to develop trading opportunities in Iran; and whether those plans take account of decisions by other countries to develop trading opportunities there.

uin	HL2232
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2015 answer text <p>Trade sanctions on Iran will not be lifted immediately. Sanction relief will only happen once the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has verified that Iran has taken agreed nuclear measures. While sanctions remain in place, they will continue to be enforced.</p><p>Recent trade visits to Iran highlight the wide interest in new trade opportunities, but even as phased sanctions relief begins Iran will remain a challenging place to do business. If Iran completes its commitments and sanctions are rolled back, the British Government will help the business and financial sector take advantage of the opportunities that arise, and promote trade and investment between our two countries. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), took a trade delegation with him to Iran when he reopened our Embassy on 23 August, and further trade delegations are being planned. Over time, our reopened Embassy in Tehran will be a key part of the Government’s role in supporting British business, including through a full time UK Trade and Investment presence. However the decisions of British businesses on whether or not to trade with Iran are independent of Government.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/09/2015 15:42:06 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
