question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to ensure that financial support given to university students is protected from inflation.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL2258
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>Higher education (HE) is a devolved matter and financial support for students in Wales is the responsibility of the Welsh Government.</p><p>Maximum grants and loans for living costs for students in England have been increased by 2.3% this 2022/23 academic year. The government is reviewing options for uprating maximum grants and loans for the 2023/24 academic year and an announcement will follow in the Autumn.</p><p>Students who have been awarded a loan for living costs for the 2022/23 academic year that is lower than the maximum, and whose household income for the 2022/23 financial year has dropped by at least 15% compared to the income provided for their original assessment, can apply for their entitlement to be reassessed.</p><p>In addition, maximum tuition fees, and the subsidised loans available from the government to pay them remain at £9,250 for the 2022/23 academic year, in respect of standard full-time courses.</p><p>The department is also freezing maximum tuition fees for the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years. By 2024/25, maximum fees will have been frozen for seven years. As well as reducing debt levels for students, the continued fee freeze will help to ensure that the HE system remains sustainable while also promoting greater efficiency at providers.</p><p>The government recognises the additional cost of living pressures that have arisen this year and impacted students. Many HE providers have hardship funds that students can apply to for assistance.</p><p>To support disadvantaged students and those in need of additional help, the department has confirmed in our guidance to the Office for Students (OfS) on funding for the 2022/23 financial year that universities will continue to be able to support students in hardship through their own hardship funds and the student premium, for which up to £261 million is available for the 2022/23 academic year.</p><p>The government has also worked closely with the OfS to clarify that English providers can draw upon this funding now, to provide hardship funds and support disadvantaged students impacted by cost-of-living pressures.</p><p>The Energy Price Guarantee announced on 8 September will save the average household at least £1,000 a year based on current energy prices from October. This is in addition to the £400 energy bills discount for all households. Students who buy their energy from a domestic supplier are eligible for the energy bills discount.</p><p>As part of the package of support for rising energy bills, the government is also giving a council tax rebate payment of £150 to households that were living in a property in council tax bands A to D as their main home on 1 April 2022. This includes full-time students that do not live in student halls or in property that is not considered a House in Multiple Occupation for council tax purposes.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran grouped question UIN HL2259 question first answered 20/09/2022 11:11:23 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont
uin	HL2258
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2021 answer text <p>The department does not collect data on children who are home educated, however we are aware of the rising numbers of home-educated children.</p><p>The department supports the right of parents to educate their children at home. Most parents do this with the intention of providing their child with the best education possible, and sometimes during challenging circumstances.</p><p>However, the rising numbers of home educated children cannot be overlooked. 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 we will publish in the coming months.</p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 26/07/2021 15:40:37 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge

tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont
uin	HL2258
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>It is important that the police and local agencies have the powers they need to tackle local issues quickly and effectively. That is why we reformed the tools and powers available to tackle anti-social behaviour through the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. We currently do not plan to introduce any new powers.</p><p>The powers in the Act are deliberately local in nature, and it is for local agencies to determine whether their use is appropriate in the circumstances. We keep anti-social behaviour policy under review through the Anti-social Behaviour Strategic Board which brings together key partners.</p><p>It is for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, as operational leaders and elected local representatives, to decide how best to respond to individual crimes and local crime priorities but to help ensure that the police have the resources they need to do so, we are recruiting 20,000 officers over the next three years.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 19/03/2020 16:06:09 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

uin	HL2258
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2017 answer text <p>The Delivery Confidence Rating for the Lightning Programme as a whole was downgraded in July 2017 to reflect the challenges that exist within a taut schedule in the run up to Initial Operating Capability in December 2018. Specific challenges were related to software, training and weapons integration. These areas are now the focus of significant activity in the Ministry of Defence and industry programme team. Currently, there is expected to be no impact on the UK's ability to declare Initial Operating Capability in December 2018.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 30/10/2017 16:06:56 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
