answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2016 answer text The UK economy is fundamentally strong and our research and innovation are world leading. We have a long established system that supports, and therefore attracts, the brightest minds, at all stages of their careers. We fund excellent science wherever it is found, and ensure there is the freedom to tackle important scientific questions. While the UK remains a member of the EU, current EU arrangements continue unchanged, including those that apply to students, researchers, and businesses. We remain fully open to scientists and researchers from across the EU. We hugely value the contribution of EU and international staff and there are no immediate changes to their rights to live and work in the UK. The Government intends to maintain and enhance the strength of our research base, which is why we have protected the science resource budget in real terms from its 2015/16 level of £4.7 billion for the rest of the parliament. answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 02/08/2016 13:35:07 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2016 answer text <p>Current government guidance Exclusion from Maintained Schools, Academies and Pupil Referral Units (2012) advises school leaders that: “A pupil can transfer to another school as part of a ‘managed move’ where this occurs with the consent of the parties involved, including the parents” (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion</a>). The government does not provide further guidance on how managed moves should operate.</p><p>There are two sets of guidance which relate to children and young people with special educational needs moving between schools. The first, which covers children and young people with statements of special educational needs, is the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/special-educational-needs-sen-code-of-practice" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/special-educational-needs-sen-code-of-practice</a>). This guidance is due to expire in 2018 as statements are phased out and education, health and care plans are gradually introduced. The guidance which covers children and young people with education, health and care plans is the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice: 0-25 years, which was introduced in 2014 (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/send-code-of-practice-0-to-25</a>). For these groups, there are specific statutory processes that must be followed by local authorities, including formal consultation with parents and with any new proposed school.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 18/07/2016 13:00:57 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
