answer text <p>Information on the number of children born into families in low income is not available for any period.</p><p> </p><p>This is because the main sources of income data only capture a household's situation once a year. Therefore we do not record the income of the family on the day the child is born. The sample size for households with very young children will be small and it may also be the case that the response rate from families with very young children will be lower than usual and therefore may not be representative.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has not contractually agreed a minimum level of energy production from the Hinkley Point C nuclear power station. The Contract for Difference (CfD), agreed on October 2016, is an agreement to pay the generator the difference between the wholesale market price and a “strike price” for every megawatt hour of electricity they generate.

answer text <p>In October 2015, the European Commission's adequacy decision on the Safe Harbor Agreement was invalidated by the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) in the Schrems case. The Court ​considered that the third country concerned must ensure an adequate level of protection safeguarded by its domestic law or international commitments, and that the reliability of such a system, in light of that requirement, is founded essentially on the establishment of effective detection and supervision mechanisms in relation to the protection of fundamental rights. ​Consequently, the Court found that the Safe Harbor Agreement failed to comply with the requirements of Directive 95/46/EC and established Human Rights law. The judgment was addressed to the Commission. The EU-US Privacy Shield decision has since replaced the Safe Harbor agreement, in providing a basis for personal data transfers from the US to the US companies certified under the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>The Information Commissioner has provided regular updates to the status of the Privacy Shield and remains an active member of the Article 29 Working Party Privacy Shield annual joint review team.</p>
