The reappointment of Sir John Sunderland to the Board of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in 2007 followed a fair and transparent process. The reappointment was part of wider board restructuring agreed with the then Department for Business, Energy and Regulatory Reform (BERR). The intention of this exercise was to reduce the number of ministerial appointees on the board and enhance the independence of the FRC with regards to the accountancy profession and the Government.<\/p>

The Government is committed to ensuring that all pupils, regardless of ethnicity, background or location, are able to achieve their full potential in education. This includes those pupils who are classed as having English as an additional language (EAL).<\/p>

<\/p>

It is essential that all pupils are proficient in written and spoken English so that they can access the curriculum effectively and engage fully with school. To help schools develop the English language skills of their EAL pupils, rather than implementing a limited number of area-based programmes we have given all local authorities in England the ability to allocate funding to schools for their EAL pupils. In 2016-17, 136 local authorities used the EAL factor in their school funding formulae, spending £282 million in total. Furthermore, we have proposed that the national funding formula for schools, which will replace local funding formulae from 2018-19 onwards, will include an EAL factor.<\/p>

<\/p>

Schools may also use their pupil premium funding to support disadvantaged pupils with EAL.<\/p>

<\/p>

At the same time, we do recognise that in some areas of England schools face entrenched challenges in raising the educational performance of their pupils. That is why we are designating those areas of greatest need as opportunity areas, and are targeting the Department\u2019s improvement programmes in these locations with the aim of improving social mobility. To date twelve areas have been identified as opportunity areas and will share £72 million to improve the quality of education and to provide young people with the advice and skills needed for good jobs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4270", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Nash"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Nash"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-01-30T15:34:48.933Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-01-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pupils: Disadvantaged"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government whether they are planning to re-establish Education Priority Areas in places where children suffer from very limited ability to speak English or other disadvantages.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/2018", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hylton"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hylton"} ], "uin" : "HL4661"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/439117", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/439117/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The further deployment of security scanners was advised in the ministerial statement of 21 November 2013.<\/p>

<\/p>

Work is underway with those airports which already deploy security scanners to consider the case for increasing their deployment of security scanners. The Department for Transport keeps all aviation security measures under continual review to ensure that the measures are sustainable, proportionate and practicable and any wider deployment of security scanners would be considered on a risk assessed basis. UK airports comply with EU and UK regulations for the screening of passengers and there are a number of screening methods and equipment options in use.<\/p>
