question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reasons the HM Treasury analysis: the long term economic impact of EU membership and the alternatives did not include an assessment of the potential effect on the UK economy of a potential reduction in GDP in the EU.

uin	39199
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>The main estimates in the HM Treasury analysis are based on the EU as it is today, without further reform. The total cost of leaving is likely to be higher. If the economic benefits of reform are realised this could increase UK GDP by up to a further 4% – which equates to £2,800 for every household in the UK. With the UK outside the EU these economic reforms would be less likely to happen. So the cost of exit in terms of the potential loss of GDP would be correspondingly greater.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 08/06/2016 10:31:32 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>NATO has made significant progress on the 2010 Strategic Concept's core tasks, through the 2014 NATO Wales Summit Declaration and in subsequent actions.</p><p>The Strategic Defence and Security Review 2015 outlined that NATO remains at the heart of UK defence and security and Allies regularly reaffirm commitment to NATO's Article 5 in support of the Strategic Concept's Collective Defence. The implementation of Assurance Measures and the Readiness Action Plan agreed in Wales has delivered an effective and united response to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and its actions in Eastern Ukraine.</p><p>NATO stands ready to employ an appropriate mix of robust political and military capabilities to address the spectrum of potential crises, before, during, and after conflicts in order to deliver Euro-Atlantic security. The Wales Summit tripled the size of NATO's enhanced response forces, meaning that the Alliance is better prepared and more capable to respond to all threats and challenges.</p><p>NATO is actively engaged in enhancing international security through partnerships with countries and international organisations; its support to counter-migration efforts in the Aegean is an example of close NATO-EU co-operation. Wales also included the unprecedented commitment by NATO Heads of State to halt the decline in defence expenditure.</p> answering member constituency Canterbury answering member printed Mr Julian Brazier question first answered 08/06/2016 15:04:45 answering member 77 label Biography information for Sir Julian Brazier

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2016 answer text <p>All children of compulsory school age are entitled to a full time education which is suitable to their age, ability, aptitude and any special educational needs they may have. Schools and local authorities are empowered to keep absences to a minimum and have measures available to support and promote good attendance.</p><p> </p><p>Where parents are struggling to get their child to go to school, the school and local authorities can provide support and work with families to improve their child’s attendance. The Department’s advice on school attendance sets out that a conversation between parents and the school is the first step. It also sets out how schools and local authorities can help with wider issues. This guidance can be found on GOV.UK at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/school-attendance-absence/help-with-getting-your-child-to-go-to-school" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/school-attendance-absence/help-with-getting-your-child-to-go-to-school</a></p><p> </p><p>Where there is an underlying mental health issue, such as a social anxiety disorder, schools should look to secure the right support. To help schools identify underlying mental health problems in young people, in June 2014, the Department issued advice on mental health and behaviour to ensure all young people get the help they need, which can be found on GOV.UK at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mental-health-and-behaviour-in-schools--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/mental-health-and-behaviour-in-schools--2</a></p><p> </p><p>To secure specialist support where it is needed, the Government is making £1.4 billion available over the course of this Parliament to transform local children and young people’s mental health services to deliver more integrated and accessible services. We have also contributed to a £3 million joint pilot of single points of contact in schools and specialist mental health services to ensure students have timely access to appropriate specialist support where needed.</p><p> </p><p>We are also promoting support for parents on mental health. We continue to provide funding to Young Minds for their Parent Helpline. We have also funded the MindEd website to provide a new section for parents – the materials include information for parents on children who refuse to go to school and what steps to take, this information is attached.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson grouped question UIN 39084 question first answered 08/06/2016 15:09:48 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson attachment 1 file name 39083 and 39084 attachment.pdf title Info_for_parents_children_refuse_to_go_to_school
