Ofcom published a consultation on the future use of the 700 MHz band on 28 May 2014. This consultation assesses the impact any loss of access to the 700 MHz band would have on the PMSE community. Ofcom will ensure the views and spectrum requirements of the PMSE community are taken into account when making any final decisions on the use of the band. The consultation document and responses can be found on Ofcom\u2019s website:<\/p>

http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/consultations/700MHz/<\/a><\/p>

Ofcom is working with the PMSE community of users and manufacturers to mitigate the impact of any change of use of the 700 MHz band; and discussing with the regulatory authorities in other countries their approach to this issue. A key focus of their work in this area is seeking to identify and make available alternative spectrum for the PMSE community.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1580", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Wantage"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Vaizey"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-09-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "206821"} , {"_value" : "206823"} , {"_value" : "206936"} , {"_value" : "206943"} , {"_value" : "206944"} , {"_value" : "206947"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-09-01T10:45:24.0783672Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "10"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Culture, Media and Sport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Radio Frequencies"} , "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 assessment he has made of the potential effects of international harmonisation of the 700 MHz band of radio spectrum on domestic small and medium-sized enterprises operating within (a) the programme making and special events sector and (b) the creative industries; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/268", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Peter Luff"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Mid Worcestershire"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Sir Peter Luff"} ], "uin" : "206818"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79204", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79204/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The data only includes two academic years because providing all five academic years would be of disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The data only includes those who were \u201cawarded\u201d Student Loans rather than those who \u201capplied\u201d and \u201creceived\u201d. This is because students are awarded Student Loans based on eligibility criteria so only those who applied and were eligible have been recorded.<\/p>

Student Loans are delivered by Student Loans Company (SLC). There is no requirement to monitor gender. Monitoring focuses on the eligibility criteria which are set out in regulations. Gender is not part of the eligibility criteria.<\/p>

<\/p>

The data only includes two academic years because providing all five academic years would be of disproportionate cost.<\/p>

<\/p>

The data only includes those who were \u201cawarded\u201d Student Loans rather than those who \u201capplied\u201d and \u201creceived\u201d. This is because students are awarded Student Loans based on eligibility criteria so only those who applied and were eligible have been recorded.<\/p>

In addition, Vocational Education Teaching and Learning funding is outlined in the Skills Funding Statement which sets out the Government\u2019s priorities for the budget. It is for providers to decide how they use funding to reflect those priorities. The Skills Funding Statements 2012-15 and 2013-16 also show in the Data Annex what learning the available funding has supported over the last three years, including a breakdown by gender:<\/p>
