I last visited the Emergency Planning College on 12 July 2013.<\/p>

The College and its partnership contract continue to serve as excellent examples of what can be achieved by the application of innovation, energy and commercial skill in the delivery of an important public service.<\/p>

I am pleased to report that the College was profitable in 2014 and will pay a dividend.<\/p>

The Department regularly receives representations regarding regulation relating to shale gas development and exploration and we have produced a range of guidance material which set out how these concerns are addressed. These can be found at the following link.<\/p>

We have a strong regulatory framework in place to ensure a comprehensive regime for exploratory activities, and the UK has over 50 years of experience in oil and gas drilling. All of the right regulations are in place to ensure on-site safety, prevent water contamination, air pollution and mitigate seismic activity.<\/p>

In June 2012 the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering published an independent review of the scientific and engineering evidence on risks associated with UK shale gas development. Their report concluded that environmental (and health and safety) risks can be managed effectively in the UK, when operational best practices are implemented and enforced through regulation.<\/p>

In June 2014 Public Health England published a report that evaluated available evidence on issues including air quality, radon gas, naturally occurring radioactive materials, water contamination and waste water. They concluded that \u201cthe risks to public health from exposure to emissions from shale gas extraction are low if operations are properly run and regulated.\u201d<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4070", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Matt Hancock"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Suffolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Matthew Hancock"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-01-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-01-13T15:39:02.863Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "63"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Energy and Climate Change"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-01-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Fracking"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what recent representations he has received on regulations relating to hydraulic fracturing; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/384", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness McIntosh of Pickering"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thirsk and Malton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Miss Anne McIntosh"} ], "uin" : "220147"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/171847", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/171847/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

This year we have run two consultations on the Horserace Betting Levy. The first focused on extending the Levy to offshore operators and received 24 responses. The second looked at reform or replacement of the Levy and received 100 responses.<\/p>

As a result of our analysis of the responses to the two consultations it is clear that more detail is required as to how a replacement for the Levy would work in order to enable a full comparison between reform and replacement to be made.<\/p>

Therefore, as announced in the Autumn Statement, we will consult, early in 2015, on a Racing Right and intend to announce a decision in the light of all three consultations.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4018", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mrs Helen Grant"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Maidstone and The Weald"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mrs Helen Grant"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-01-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-01-06T11:31:14.39Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Horse Racing"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what representations he has received on the future funding for racing; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/384", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness McIntosh of Pickering"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thirsk and Malton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Miss Anne McIntosh"} ], "uin" : "218844"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/170371", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/170371/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Since June 2014, Ministers in the Department for Education have received 5 letters and have had one meeting with an MP on the subject of funding for rural schools.The Government recognises the importance of rural schools, many of which are small schools, and the need to maintain access to a local school in rural areas. The Department has enabled local authorities and Schools Forums to support small rural schools by allowing funding to be allocated via a \u2018sparsity factor\u2019. Sparsity funding is additional funding given to small schools serving pupils who would have to travel a long distance to any alternative school.<\/p>

In addition, the Department has recently made an additional £390 million available to the least fairly funded local authorities through the introduction of minimum funding levels. Many local authorities with small rural schools have benefited from this policy, and will see increases in their per-pupil funding.<\/p>

The value of British food production as it leaves the farm gate is measured at market prices in the Aggregate Agricultural Account. This does not include the value of any subsidies. The value of UK exports of food, feed and drink is estimated in the Overseas Trade Statistics at the prices paid between traders. The prices at the point of export are considerably higher than the prices at the farm gate because of value added in the wholesaling and manufacturing processes. The estimated percentage of UK production that is exported comes from Defra\u2019s production to supply ratio calculation which involves revaluing exports to the value of the raw farm gate components.<\/p>

The Department does hold cost information on the amount spent with external consultants. However, the information captured by this central record does not enable us to readily identify the expenditure which relates specifically to governance of the National Health Service in the last 12 months. In order to gather all possible relevant information, we would need to contact each business area and Directorate in the Department requiring them to check their records. This undertaking would amount to a substantial effort across the Department and could only be achieved at disproportionate cost.<\/p>
