uin	HL101
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2016 answer text <p>This Government understands the concept of parity of esteem, as set out in the 1998 Belfast Agreement, as placing a general obligation on the UK Government to treat people of different traditions in Northern Ireland fairly and with equal respect. In the Agreement it is clearly expressed and defined in relation to people living in Northern Ireland.</p><p>As a general obligation there is no definition of particular circumstances in which it does or does not apply.</p><p> </p><p>As I have set out in previous replies to the Noble Lord, this Government is firm in its commitment to the protection of people against any form of discrimination, and the promotion of opportunity for all, across the whole of our United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>In respect of the Noble Lord’s question about those who might march wearing army uniforms but who are not members of an army, the concept of parity of esteem clearly does not absolve people from upholding the law. This Government has made clear many times that we will never accept any form of equivalence between members of the security forces and those who engage in terrorism or other forms of paramilitary activity.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Dunlop grouped question UIN HL100 HL102 HL103 HL129 HL131 HL99 question first answered 26/05/2016 12:22:50 answering member 4534 label Biography information for Lord Dunlop

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2014 answer text <p>The Government is committed to developing a strong culture of professional development in schools for all national curriculum subjects, including citizenship and mathematics.</p><p>We have allocated £11 million to fund 30 new maths hubs to improve the quality of maths teachers from primary school onwards. This initiative will enable every school and college in England, from early years to the post-16 sector, to access locally-tailored and quality support in all areas of maths teaching and maths learning. To further support teachers, Liz Moorse from the Association for Citizenship Teaching is chairing an expert group on citizenship. The expert group will clarify the key areas in which teachers most need further support. The expert group will then liaise with relevant specialists and providers to develop and produce new resources where necessary.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 16/06/2014 11:41:31 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
