Local authorities are responsible for allocating social housing through schemes they set locally. These are governed by a framework of rules set by central government which ensure social housing is\u202fprioritised\u202ffor those in housing need.<\/p>
In 2015, government introduced the Right to Move to make it even easier for tenants to move closer to work or to take up a job offer.<\/p>
The Right to Move prevents local authorities applying a local connection test that could disadvantage tenants who need to move across local authority boundaries for work related reasons, and ensures that social tenants who need to move for work related reasons, such as young professionals, are given appropriate priority under the local authority's allocation scheme.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4044", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Stephenson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Pendle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Stephenson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-10-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-10-25T16:17:34.597Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Rented Housing: Young People"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of allocating social housing to young professionals.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4518", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tulip Siddiq"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hampstead and Kilburn"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tulip Siddiq"} ], "uin" : "67130"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1524349", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1524349/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
There are currently no mandatory requirements for speed guidance systems fitted to cars in Great Britain. Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) is such a system and was mandated for new vehicles by the European Union (EU) from this year under an agreed a package of measures known as the General Safety Regulation (GSR) but does not apply to the UK following our EU Exit.<\/p>
The UK\u2019s departure from the EU provides the platform to capitalise on regulatory freedoms and make decisions that are right for road safety in Great Britain. An assessment is being undertaken on vehicle technologies introduced by GSR and a decision will be taken in due course as to whether to mandate any of those in Great Britain.<\/p>
Irrespective of the technology deployed on a vehicle and how it performs, the driver is required by law to be in control of their vehicle at all times. Therefore, as a principle, any Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), like ISA, can be overridden or switched off by the driver at any time.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4834", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Katherine Fletcher"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Ribble"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Katherine Fletcher"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-10-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-10-25T12:22:18.52Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Motor Vehicles: Speed Limits"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of rules on speed guidance systems in cars; and if she will take steps to introduce new requirements to ensure in-vehicle systems (a) follow road rules and (b) can be overridden by drivers when they do not.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4518", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tulip Siddiq"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hampstead and Kilburn"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tulip Siddiq"} ], "uin" : "67131"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1524350", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1524350/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
As part of the post-16 qualifications review, the department has considered the available evidence about outcomes for students who have taken BTECs and other Applied General qualifications (AGQs), which many students from disadvantaged backgrounds take.<\/p>
The evidence suggests that after taking into account a student\u2019s background characteristics and prior attainment, those who followed an A level-only route generally experience better outcomes in terms of attainment and future employment impacts. Considering access to higher education (HE) and reformed AGQs, the department found that across different prior attainment bandings, students with A levels were consistently more likely to enter HE than those just holding AGQs. For those with the lowest prior attainment, mixed A level and AGQ programmes were slightly more likely to lead to HE than those with a study programme consisting only of A levels.<\/p>
The department will continue to fund some alternative level 3 qualifications including BTECs where they do not overlap with A levels or T Levels, and where they meet the new quality criteria being implemented as part of the funding approval process for 2025 and beyond. Details of this will be published in due course. Qualifications such as BTECs will continue to play an important role for 16-to-19-year-olds and adults. This includes students taking these qualifications in mixed programmes alongside A levels, or as an alternative programme in areas that may be less well-served by A levels or T Levels.<\/p>
The updated impact assessment published alongside the response to the second-stage consultation looked at the potential impact of the review on students, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds. This is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-post-16-qualifications-at-level-3-in-england<\/a>.<\/p>"}
