The government is committed to delivering our manifesto pledge to make school funding fairer. It was announced at the Spending Review that we intend to introduce a National Funding Formula for schools, high needs and early years in 2017.

The Government is fully committed to the Welsh language and fully committed to providing Government services in the Welsh language where there is demand.<\/p>

The Wales Office works closely with Government Digital Service to ensure that the Welsh language content on GOV.UK is underpinned by high quality user research that provides a simpler, clearer and faster service for users.<\/p>

On GOV.UK you can carry out many actions in Welsh that are important to people in their day to day life, such as apply for car tax, register to vote, book driving theory and practical tests, access state pension details online and apply for a Blue Badge.<\/p>

It also gives government departments and other organisations which publish material on GOV.UK the ability to publish Welsh-language content in line with the requirements of their individual Welsh Language Schemes.<\/p>

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has published 346 forms on GOV.UK as part of an application process or to respond to consultations. However, not all of these will cover departmental policies and schemes that are applicable to Wales. Approximately 4% of the forms are available in Welsh.<\/p>

In the case of UK Trade & Investment (UKTI), as trade and investment is devolved to Wales, Welsh language support for business is available at the Welsh Government\u2019s website at https://business.wales.gov.uk/cy<\/a><\/p>

UKTI has aimed to be inclusive by advertising in Welsh as part of its Exporting is GREAT campaign. Though none of UKTI\u2019s forms are in Welsh, contact forms from organisations with a Welsh postcode are directed to Business Wales. Contact forms for investors are not in Welsh but the audience is overseas businesses based outside the UK.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4039", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Orpington"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Joseph Johnson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-12-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-12-08T16:28:29.97Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "26"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-12-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills: Welsh Language"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what proportion of the forms on (a) his Department's website and (b) the website of UK Trade and Investment is available in Welsh.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1541", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Nia Griffith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Llanelli"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Nia Griffith"} ], "uin" : "18757"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/433911", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Cabinet Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/433911/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

At the summer budget the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out the Government\u2019s commitment to move the UK from a high tax, high welfare, low wage society to a lower tax, lower welfare, higher wage society. This remains the case, and Universal Credit (UC) is delivering this.<\/p>

UC is a fundamentally different benefit to the legacy benefit system and provides people with support into, and to progress in work.<\/p>

Therefore there is no meaningful way of comparing an unreformed Tax Credit system with Universal Credit. The Government has committed to transitional arrangements as we reform the benefits and Tax Credit system. Those transferred without a change of circumstances by DWP from tax credits to UC will receive Transitional Protection so that their income is not reduced as a result of the transfer.<\/p>

We will bring forward regulations for transitional protection in due course.<\/p>
