We set out our continued commitment to improving employment rates for disabled people and people with long-term health conditions in Improving Lives: The Future of Work, Health and Disability. The goal is to see an increase in the number of disabled people in work from 3.5 million in Q1 2017 to 4.5 million in Q1 2027. In the first two years of the goal (Q1 2017 to Q1 2019), the number of disabled people in employment increased by 404,000. We welcome the continuing positive trends, and remain committed to unlocking the potential of all disabled people searching for work. We still have a significant way to go before achieving the goal.<\/p>
<\/p>
No single measure can capture everything that we want to achieve and we will continue to monitor improvements in the employment rate gap and other measures alongside the goal.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-11-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-11-04T13:42:46.237Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Employment: Disability"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Written Statement of 5 March 2019, Health and Disability Announcement, HCWS1376, what progress her Department has made on undertaking a review of the commitment to get more disabled people into work.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "7629"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1167387", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1167387/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government\u2019s School Sport and Activity Action Plan, published in July, provides children with a greater opportunity to do 60 minutes of sport and physical activity every day inside and outside school. The Department is investing £2.5 million in 2019-20 to support schools to improve their physical education and school sport offer to pupils, including helping schools to open up their facilities beyond the school day.<\/p>
<\/p>
The £320 million PE and Sport Premium supports primary schools to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of their physical education, physical activity and sport including extra-curricular activities after school and holiday clubs.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the Government\u2019s Holiday Activities and Food programme aims to provide children with access to free healthy food and enriching activities over the summer, including physical activity. In 2019, the Department invested £9 million in 11 local authority areas and have just launched a bidding round for a further £9 million for 2020.<\/p>
The Department has commissioned an independent evaluation of the 2019 programme which will report early next year.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/111", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Nick Gibb"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bognor Regis and Littlehampton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nick Gibb"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-11-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-11-04T16:41:17.13Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Sports"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the role that summer holiday clubs play in supporting the ambition set out in the Government's School Sport and Activity Action Plan to help children undertake more physical activity.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "7630"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1167388", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1167388/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Copper based ADSL (asymmetric digital subscriber lines), FTTC (fibre to the cabinet), and G.fast cannot provide gigabit speeds, although performance between these services varies. ADSL is capable of delivering maximum download speeds of 24Mbps, compared to FTTC (VDSL/virtual digital subscriber line) which can deliver download speeds of up to 80Mbps and G.fast which is currently capable of providing speeds of up to 330Mbps. However, with all these services, the speed achievable declines with distance, with the highest speeds only available to premises closest to the cabinet.<\/p>
<\/p>
FTTP (fibre to the premises or full fibre) and DOCSIS (data over cable service interface specification) 3.1 are both capable of gigabit download speeds. However, unlike DOCSIS 3.1, FTTP can also offer symmetrical upload speeds, and can therefore deliver gigabit upload as well as download. High upload speeds are especially important to businesses in sectors where large files need to be transferred e.g. media production, as well as for certain domestic uses, such as online gaming.<\/p>
<\/p>
All gigabit capable networks also offer increased reliability and resilience compared to copper, with FTTP providing the most reliable and resilient service. As well as improved quality of service, full fibre networks requires much lower maintenance compared to copper networks, with five times fewer faults. The reduction in fault rate means FTTP networks are cheaper to run than copper, and the National Infrastructure Assessment estimated that this could save £5bn in operating costs over 30 years.<\/p>
<\/p>
The department has not made specific assessments of the differences in energy efficiency. However, FTTP has lower energy requirements than copper and cable technologies and requires the use of fewer exchanges, and will therefore likely lead to reduced emissions for similar bandwidths.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the Government is investing £167m into Made Smarter, the UK\u2019s key industrial digitalisation programme, to put UK at forefront of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.<\/p>
