	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>Our most recent assessment shows that domestic solid fuel burning contributed 40% (42 kilotonnes) of total PM<sub>2.5</sub> emissions in the UK during 2015, with domestic wood burning alone accounting for 35% (37 kilotonnes). This compares with 39 kilotonnes (solid fuels) and 33 kilotonnes (wood) in 2014 and 45 kilotonnes (solid fuels) and 40 kilotonnes (wood) in 2013.</p><p>Evidence shows that particulate matter (PM) of 2.5 microns in diameter (PM<sub>2.5</sub>) and smaller can have detrimental effects on health. Small particles from smoke which are formed when wood is burned can get into the lungs and blood and be transported around the body, where they have a variety of detrimental health effects. It is, however, difficult to assess the increase in risk to public health that is associated with domestic wood burning alone.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey grouped question UIN 7481 question first answered 12/09/2017 12:56:49 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

Where there is clear merit in extending the life of existing equipment in terms of both military utility and value-for-money, the opportunity to do so will be considered in the context of the wider Review. It is therefore not appropriate to anticipate decisions on the Typhoon Tranche 1, or other capabilities, that have not yet been made.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 03/11/2015 16:35:19 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2019 answer text <p>The number of children returning to care who had previously had a permanence arrangement, including adoption and special guardianship, can be found in table C1 of the statistical release ‘Children looked-after in England (including adoption)' for the year ending 31 March 2018 at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2017-to-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/children-looked-after-in-england-including-adoption-2017-to-2018</a>.</p><p>The department does not collect or publish information on breakdowns of all adoption orders or all special guardianship orders. This is partly because it is impossible to use available administrative data to link a child’s pre- and post-care histories, as the child’s social care, NHS, and pupil number changes after an adoption order is made. Furthermore, after the making of an adoption order, agencies are under no obligation to keep in touch with adoptive families and some adoptive parents wish to cut ties with Children’s Services. We collect data about children returning to care but where an adoption or special guardianship order is disrupted and the local authority is not working with the family, that data will not be available. Data underpinning previous permanence arrangements as described above is based on self-declaration only.</p><p>A research report ‘Beyond the adoption order’ was published in 2014 and gave a one-off insight into adoption breakdown.

Local authorities must secure the provision specified in a child or young person’s Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. Where this requires the local authority to provide additional ‘top-up’ funding, an agreement should be in place between the local authority and the institution that confirms the amount of top-up funding to be paid. This agreement does not form part of the EHC plan.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 07/01/2019 14:44:52 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
