The Written Statement made by my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 11 March 2014 was based on evidence drawn from the European Commission Staff Working Document \u2018Energy prices and costs in Europe' and the International Energy Agency report, \u2018World Energy Outlook 2013'.<\/p>
<\/p>
\u2018Energy prices and costs in Europe' indicates that increases in network costs, taxes, and levies have contributed to rises in EU energy prices. However, the report also identifies that for 22 of the 27 Member States surveyed, support for renewable electricity generation accounts for less than 10% of the household electricity price. It also finds a relatively small impact of the EU ETS carbon price on electricity retail prices either for industry or households.<\/p>
<\/p>
The International Energy Agency report, World Energy Outlook 2013, concludes that the recent widening of the gap between EU and US energy prices is mainly as a result of the sharp drop in wholesale gas prices in the United States due to soaring shale gas production, an increase in oil indexed gas prices in other regions, and higher spot prices for liquefied natural gas.<\/p>

As part of the reforms to the national curriculum, the Department for Education is strengthening the teaching of programming in schools by replacing ICT with computing. The new computing programmes of study, which will be taught in maintained schools from September 2014, have a much greater emphasis on computer science and include a significant focus on programming. Primary school pupils at key stage 1 will be taught to understand what algorithms are, create and debug simple programs, and use logical reasoning to predict the behaviour of simple programs. Building on this, primary school pupils at key stage 2 will be taught to design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; use sequence, selection, and repetition in programs; and use logical reasoning to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs.<\/p>
The Department is funding several projects to help teachers acquire the necessary subject knowledge and skills to teach the new computing curriculum. We are funding the British Computer Society (BCS) to help primary school teachers improve their subject knowledge through online teach-yourself resources and 800 in-school workshops. We are also funding BCS to build a network of 400 \u2018Master Teachers'. A further £500,000 competitive match-funded scheme was announced on 4 February to support excellent computing teaching and lever additional investment and engagement from business.<\/p>

On 13 March, I announced proposals to allocate £350 million to our least fairly funded local areas in 2015-16. This is the biggest step towards fairer schools funding in a decade. It puts us in a much better position to implement a national funding formula when the time is right \u2013 after the next spending review, when there are multi-year public spending plans, and we can give greater certainty to schools about how the formula will affect them.<\/p>"}

Network Rail is currently a private sector company limited by guarantee, and the remuneration of its Executive Directors is a matter for its Remuneration Committee and Members. Under a condition of the company's network licence, it falls to the independent Office of Rail Regulation to ensure that Network Rail's bonus scheme framework is transparent, and rewards sustained and significant out-performance of the targets set for it.<\/p>
<\/p>
With effect from 1 September 2014, Network Rail will be reclassified to the public sector. Work to decide on the best approach to governance, finance, and accounting and budgeting, including remuneration, has now begun. In advance of 1 September a Framework Agreement between the Department and Network Rail, which explains these decisions, will be published.<\/p>
