The new design and technology curriculum strengthens requirements for maintained schools to teach children about food, nutrition and healthy eating, and how to cook a repertoire of meals. Pupils in maintained primary schools should learn about healthy eating and a good, balanced diet. In maintained secondary schools, food education is now compulsory in years 7–9 for the first time. The new science curriculum makes young people aware of different types of diseases and the impact of lifestyle factors on the incidence of some diseases.</p><br /><p>Physical Education is a compulsory subject at all four key stages in the national curriculum in maintained schools. The programme of study makes clear that a high-quality PE curriculum should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically active in a way which supports their health and fitness.</p><br /><p>In addition, the Department is actively engaged in work across government to develop a national childhood obesity strategy.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 12/11/2015 17:19:28 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

The Government believes there would be difficulties in devolving other property taxes, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax and Capital Gains Tax, to London as this would create a distortive effect around the border, increase administration costs and complexity and expose local government to significant fiscal risk.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 01/12/2015 16:46:10 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

EU financial measures apply within the EU and to EU nationals and entities rather than directly to Iranian businesses based outside of the EU. However, Her Majesty's Treasury continue to ensure that the assets of designated Iranian entities, held in the UK, remain frozen.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Hugh Robertson question first answered 17/06/2014 08:18:34 answering member 1415 label Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2015 answer text <p>The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has monthly access to the reactor at Arak. The IAEA Director General’s 29 May Iran report confirms that Iran continues to abide by its commitments under the Joint Plan of Action. Access for the IAEA to Parchin remains an important but unfulfilled step. The Director General’s report reiterates that clean-up activities at the site are likely to have undermined the Agency’s ability to conduct effective verification, however it is imperative that Iran provides swift access as the Agency continues to request. We fully support their work on this crucial issue.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 16/06/2015 13:46:39 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
