They should also have opportunities to improvise, devise and script drama for one another and a range of audiences, as well as to rehearse, refine, share and respond thoughtfully to drama and theatre performances. Teachers will use their professional judgement as to how and when such opportunities are created.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, all pupils taking GCSE drama or an A level in drama and theatre studies are entitled to experience live theatre. This entitlement reaffirms the Government’s commitment to providing pupils with an enriching arts education. Pupils should not be limited to watching a DVD or a peer performance; they should have the opportunity to sit in the audience and experience a live performance.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed David Johnston question first answered 14/11/2023 16:56:55 answering member 4761 label Biography information for David Johnston

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2022 answer text <p>The action we took at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic helped keep renters in their homes- through banning bailiff evictions, extending notice periods and unprecedented financial support</p><p><br> These measures worked - fewer households have been assessed as homeless, there are fewer rough sleepers and fewer possession claims are now being made to court. There was a reduction of 34% of those at risk of homelessness due to service of a Section 21 notice between April and June 2021 compared to the same quarter in 2019.  <br> <br> Most measures that were put in place to support renters during the pandemic have now lifted. We continue to monitor the situation using the public health data, homelessness data, English Housing Resilience Survey data and repossession statistics. There are no current plans to reintroduce the emergency measures to delay evictions given the wider lifting of national restrictions, the success of the vaccination roll-out and the impact that these measures have on landlords. .   <br> <br> Bailiffs must, however, provide at least 14 days' notice of an eviction and will not carry out an eviction if they are made aware that anyone living in the property has COVID-19 symptoms or is self-isolating.  <br> <br> We have also retained the power to reintroduce longer notice periods until 25 March 2022 if needed and significant support is available to renters through the welfare system.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 21/01/2022 14:48:51 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

However, the Environment Agency has a contract with a third-party supplier (PeopleScout) to facilitate its current volume recruitment and this includes advertising costs. This is a notional recharge contract for up to £1.8 million and means the Environment Agency saves money on front line managers undertaking volume recruitment themselves. The Environment Agency’s initial evaluation shows this presents good value for money equating to around £700 per new recruit.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 17/04/2023 09:35:52 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
