question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Barran on 29 October (HL3408), what assessment they have made of the number of children being home educated.
tabling member printed	Lord Soley
uin	HL3594
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2021 answer text <p>The department does not collect data on children who are home educated. However, we are aware of rising numbers of home-educated children.</p><p>The department supports the right of parents to educate their children at home. Most do so with the best education of their child at the centre of their decision. There are concerns about the rising numbers of home educated children, and how this increase is driven by reasons other than a commitment to home education. For some parents, the child’s education is not the primary reason behind the decision to home educate, which can mean that some children are not being provided with a suitable education.</p><p>The government remains committed to a form of registration system for children not in school. Further details on this will be in the government response to the Children Not in School consultation, which will be published in the coming months.</p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 08/11/2021 16:32:21 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, if any, to establish a regulatory framework authority to promote and provide safeguards for the development of neurotechnology.
tabling member printed	Lord Soley
uin	HL3407
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2021 answer text <p>Neurotechnology is regulated under general provisions for medical research, medical devices and the Data Protection Act 2018. Funders additionally have a responsibility to ensure that research funding is used for specific purposes. To improve the regulatory framework and ensure patient safety, in September 2021 the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency launched a public consultation on the future of medical device regulation. Future regulatory requirements will apply to all medical devices where applicable, including those which fall under the category of neurotechnology. The United Kingdom additionally supports the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Recommendation on Responsible Innovation in Neurotechnology and its associated principles. The UK will work with other OECD partners to help establish practical tools and guidance.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 05/11/2021 12:13:57 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall
