question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have had talks with the credit rating agencies with a view to restoring the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating.
tabling member printed	Lord Myners
uin	HL3421
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2014 answer text <p>The current European credit rating regulation 1060/2009 stipulates that rating agencies monitor and review credit ratings on an ongoing basis and at least annually. Furthermore, the regulation states that:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><em>&quot;The credit rating agency shall inform the rated entity at least 12 hours before publication of the credit rating and of the principal grounds on which the rating is based in order to give the entity an opportunity to draw attention of the credit rating agency to any factual errors&quot;.</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government’s long term economic plan has secured the UK’s strong credit rating, which has contributed to lower borrowing costs and helped protect frontline services. In June 2014, Standard and Poor’s (S&amp;P) revised the outlook on their UK AAA rating to stable, from negative. The key driver cited by S&amp;P was <em>‘Amid further progress in consolidating public finances, the UK’s economic recovery is broadening.’ </em></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>S&amp;P have assigned the UK sovereign the top triple AAA rating since they first published a UK rating in 1978. Moody’s and Fitch have assigned the UK the second highest rating Aa1 and AA+ respectively, with a stable outlook.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 19/12/2014 12:47:32 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the budget for providing courses for indeterminate sentence prisoners convicted of (1) sex offences, and (2) other offences, in each of the last three years.
tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL3404
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2014 answer text <p>The National Offender Management Service's central accounting system does not separately identify details of budgets allocated for the provision of courses for all prisoners serving indeterminate sentence, or by conviction categories. Budgets associated with such expenditure are primarily met through establishment baseline funding and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost by examining locally held records at each establishment, disaggregating and then collating the costs that relate to the relevant categories of offenders and courses.</p><p> </p><p>There is no set departmental guidance on the proportional allocation of individual budgets. Prison budgets are compiled annually based on an assessment of operational business needs and may vary from year to year according to changes in Departmental priorities.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 23/12/2014 12:53:38 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks
