Some suppliers carry out credit checks on new customers to confirm their identity and assess the risk of defaulting on their energy tariff. Suppliers should be clear to consumers when they intend to carry out a ‘hard’ credit check.</p><p>In the non-domestic retail market, suppliers will often carry out credit checks before offering a supply contract to a business consumer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 06/12/2017 16:21:09 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The Block Grant Transparency publication (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/block-grant-transparency-december-2017-publication) sets out details of all additions to the Devolved Administrations’ budgets since the 2015 Spending Review. The Barnett Formula will have been applied to all changes to the DCMS budget at both Spending Reviews and at Fiscal Events in the normal way as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.</p><p> </p><p>Companies from across the country have been directly engaged in legacy infrastructure and projects - for example, South Wales based Pro Steel were awarded contracts as part of the transformation of the Olympic Stadium roof post-2012 Games, they secured a £1m loan to enable them to compete for the work from Finance Wales. Pro Steel were also awarded a subcontract by BAM Nuttal for transformation work in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park post games consisting of re-purposing and construction of a bridge in the north of the Park near the Velodrome. They were also awarded the contract to make modifications and strengthening works to another bridge, and supply and installation of a third bridge.</p><p> </p><p>Last week I met with my counterparts in Wales and Scotland to discuss the many opportunities the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games presents to the whole of the UK. The department and I look forward to continuing to work closely with the devolved nations to ensure the many opportunities the Games presents - from hosting the Queen's Baton Relay to providing a base for athletes to train - are seized across the country.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 29/11/2018 11:30:15 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>We welcome the work of third sector groups in developing and promoting Gypsy, Roma and Traveller (GRT) History Month and are supportive of schools’ involvement in the initiative.</p><p> </p><p>It is for teachers to exercise professional judgement about how best to incorporate GRT history in teaching plans and school strategies. Teaching about the Holocaust is a mandatory part of the history curriculum at key stage 3 for maintained schools, and can provide a focus on all groups who were victims of this genocide. We and the Pears Foundation jointly fund the Centre for Holocaust Education to provide professional development for teachers to support this. Schools are free to teach about diversity among people of different races and cultures and about the impact of discrimination on individuals and communities in PSHE lessons. Our guidance on bullying also makes clear that schools should take measures to prevent bullying, which could involve talking to pupils about difference, potentially through dedicated events or projects.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 06/03/2018 09:42:34 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2018 answer text <p>Cheating is unacceptable - it undermines the reputation of the sector, and devalues the hard work of those succeeding on their own merit.</p><p> </p><p>I welcome the swift action YouTube took to remove videos containing adverts promoting the EduBirdie essay-writing service, in response to recent the BBC Trending investigation on academic cheating, in which I made it very clear that YouTube had a moral responsibility to take action.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently focusing on non-legislative options, but remain open to the future need for legislation, and will investigate all options available. We should only legislate where it is absolutely necessary. The government’s preferred approach is to tackle this issue through a sector-led initiative, which is why the department has worked with the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA), Universities UK (UUK) and the National Union of Students to publish guidance last October for all UK Universities on how best to tackle contract cheating.</p><p> </p><p>Time is needed to fully evaluate the effectiveness of the new guidance and this is underway. The QAA is running a series of seminars to evaluate how the sector is using the guidance.</p><p> </p><p>Universities themselves are already taking action, and it is right that they should do so, as it is their own reputations and that of the higher education sector that are on the line. UUK played a key role in developing the new guidance.</p><p> </p><p>In England, through the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, we have brought forward legislation that gives the new Office for Students (OfS) the power to take action if providers are complicit, which including imposing fines or ultimately de-registration of providers, the highest possible punishment.</p><p> </p><p>My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State’s first ever strategic guidance letter to the OfS made it clear that it is a priority for the OfS to work with the QAA to improve and ensure confidence in the quality and standards of higher education. The OfS has an obligation to report to the Secretary of State, and the department will monitor progress closely.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah grouped question UIN 160820 161590 161591 question first answered 12/07/2018 13:56:50 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
