answer text <p><strong>The Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York have always had the power to delegate to another bishop their role as chief consecrator. The five guiding principles of the House of Bishops’ declaration which underpinned General Synod’s agreement to women bishops clearly provided a framework to make it possible for arrangements to develop for the Church of England to maintain the highest possible degree of communion and contribute to mutual flourishing across all the diverse traditions that exist. Paragraph 30 of the House of Bishops’ declaration gave a very clear commitment to continuing the supply of traditionalist Catholic Bishops and Headship Evangelical Bishops.</strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>DFID regularly monitors the security and humanitarian situation in CAR. High levels of violence continue across the country, and a million people have been displaced since December 2013. The security situation impacts not only communities but humanitarian workers. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported 142 security incidents directed at humanitarian workers since January 2014 and 18 humanitarian workers killed. In 2014 DFID provided £18 million to the ICRC, UN agencies and international NGOs to support communities who have suffered from the violence in CAR.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Ofsted is an independent body, accountable directly to Parliament. It reports twice a year to the Education Select Committee. It is for Ofsted to decide on how inspections are conducted. The framework for inspection is published by Ofsted reflecting Government policy and statutory requirements and sets out how inspections are to be conducted and what will be inspected. Academies and maintained schools are all inspected against the same framework. Independent schools which do not receive public funding are inspected against a different framework which reflects the different statutory requirement placed upon those schools in the independent school standards.</p><p> </p> more like this
