answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>The majority of pensioners have their State Pension paid into a bank account. As most bank accounts can be accessed at the Post Office, claimants can collect their payments that way. Since January, 99% of banks’ personal customers are able to withdraw cash, deposit cash and cheques, and make balance enquiries at a Post Office counter via its network of 11,600 branches. The Department also has arrangements in place to ensure that the majority of those who cannot access a bank account, can collect their State Pension at the Post Office using a Post Office card account.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 17/07/2018 13:23:09 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2018 answer text <p>As of 31 August 2010, there were 4,855,336 children in good or outstanding schools. As of 31 December 2017, there were 6,714,920 children in good or outstanding schools. This represents an increase of 1,859,584 more children in good or outstanding schools since December 2010. The figures are derived from published Ofsted data but there is no breakdown available of the number of children in free schools in 2010, and therefore there are no data available to calculate the additional number of children for all three categories from 2010 to 2017.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010 around 1700 schools have left local authority control to become sponsored academies. The vast majority of these schools were providing an unsatisfactory or inadequate education at the time of transfer. This has left local authorities with a lower proportion of poor schools.</p><p> </p><p>The attached table shows the breakdown of existing data for August 2010 and December 2017.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 04/07/2018 16:49:29 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name HL8817_Change_in_number_of_Pupils_in_Good_or_Outstanding_Schools_from_August_2010_to_December_2017.pdf title HL8817_Change_in_number_of_Pupils_in_Good_or_Outst
