Defra was responsible for the following reports as part of the Balance of Competences Review:<\/p>
- Animal Health and Welfare and Food Safety (which was produced jointly with the Food Standards Agency);<\/li>
- Environment and Climate Change (which was produced jointly with DECC);<\/li>
- Agriculture; and<\/li>
- Fisheries.<\/li><\/ul>
<\/p>
1) Staff costs<\/p>
The cost of the Defra team which led on producing the four reports between 2012 and 2014 was approximately £500,000. The team drew on expert advice from staff across the Department. Providing a full breakdown of all staff time and costs would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.<\/p>
<\/p>
2) Printing costs<\/p>
Defra paid approximately £130<\/del>,000 to print and publish the four reports.<\/p> <\/p>
3) Running engagement events<\/p>
Engagement events were held in Brussels, various locations in all parts of the UK, and at Defra\u2019s London and York offices. The total cost of events, including refreshments and Defra staff travel, was approximately £4,000. To provide a full breakdown of staff time and costs would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.<\/p>
<\/p>
4) Witness expenses<\/p>
Defra did not incur any expenses for witnesses.<\/p>
5) Publicity<\/p>
Defra did not incur expenses for publicity of the reports.<\/p>

As you will be aware, the Balance of Competences Review concluded in December. It was the most comprehensive analysis of the UK\u2019s relationship with the EU ever undertaken. The review involved a large number of Departments across Whitehall to produce 32 reports. The Review was based on the evidence and views received through widespread consultation with interested parties from across society. Across the whole review, departments received close to 2,300 evidence submissions. Departments held over 250 events, attended by around 2,100 stakeholders.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
It was important that what is an unprecedented examination of EU membership was done with appropriate time and care. But the government is also very conscious of the need to ensure value for money in everything it does.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
(1) Staff time<\/p>
<\/p>
Between 2012-2013, the Balance of Competences Review Team in the Department was staffed by the equivalent of one Grade 7 (salary range £47, 545 - £55,882), and one intern (salary range £23,869 \u2013 £27, 281) dedicating 100% of their time to the review to project manage 7 BIS led reports and 1 joint report. Between 2013 \u2013 2014 this was reduced to one Grade 7. Between 2012 \u2013 2014 one Deputy Director (salary range £62,000 - £117,800) dedicated 20% of their time as the senior reporting officer for the review. All other work on the review was allocated, according to need, to existing staff within the Department. Therefore, providing a full breakdown of staff time and costs would exceed the disproportionate cost threshold.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
(2) Printing costs<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Printing and publication for the 8 Departmental reports, was coordinated centrally but paid for by the Department, with the exception of the Single Market Report which was printed in-house. Printing and publication costs for all 8 reports totalled £32,821.94. The costs for all 32 reports was £133, 053 <\/strong> This figure was a partial figure, covering the printing of some, but not all, reports across the whole review.<\/ins><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
(3) Running of Engagement events<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Each policy team in the Department held a wide range of engagement events over the 2 years; the department did not incur any costs for the running of these events. The facilities for hosting these events were either provided by other Government Departments or by business partners or were held on department premises at no extra cost to the department. <\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
(4) Witness <\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
From centrally held figures, we understand that across the whole of the Balance of Competences Review witness expenses amounted to approximately £2,255.00.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
(5) Publicity<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department did not incur any publicity costs as we published the reports and the call for evidence via email, social media and the Government website.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
(6) All other associated costs<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Between 2012 \u2013 2014 the Department commissioned research and analysis to form part of the literature review to provide the reports with legal analysis to ensure the reports were neither too analytical or too speculative and political, but instead adhere to the agreed treaties. The cost for all 8 reports was £108, 738.28. <\/strong><\/p> <\/p>
Department officials incurred some additional associated costs due to travel to meetings and stakeholder events in the UK. Some officials also incurred costs related to events in Brussels. We estimate that the additional travel costs incurred amounted to less than £300.<\/strong><\/p> <\/p>

There is no mechanism in place to alert Ministers routinely to individual cases when a local authority does not issue a final statement of special educational needs for a child within the statutory 26 week timescale.<\/p>
A complaint can be made to the Secretary of State for Education under section 497 of the Education Act 1996 if it is believed that a local authority has failed to carry out a statutory duty. If, following investigation, the Secretary of State is satisfied that the local authority has failed to carry out their duty, she may make an order giving directions to enforce the duty as appear to her to be expedient.<\/p>
