answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 answer text <p>It is for the governing body of a school (or in the case of academies, the academy trust) to decide whether there should be a school uniform, what it will be and how it should be sourced. To support them to do this the Department issues best practice guidance which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-uniform</a>.</p><p>This makes clear that we expect schools to ensure uniform costs are reasonable. Our guidance clearly states that uniform items should be easily available for parents to purchase and schools should keep compulsory branded items to a minimum. It also states that schools should avoid single-supplier contracts but where schools do choose to enter into such contracts, they should be subject to a regular competitive tendering process.</p><p>No school uniform should be so expensive as to leave pupils or their families feeling unable to apply to a school and this Government has announced its plan to put the current guidance on a statutory footing at the earliest opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 21/01/2020 17:32:05 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

Official reporting is on a calendar year basis. The measures are similar but not the same and are not directly comparable. ‘Waste from households’ is slightly narrower in the scope of waste it includes than ‘household waste’, and counts different materials towards recycling. A specific refinement to the ‘waste from households’ recycling rate introduced in 2017/18 was the inclusion of metal recovered and recycled from waste which has been through incineration (IBA metal).</p><p> </p><p>The ‘household waste’ recycling rate for York City Council, the Yorkshire and the Humber region and the UK official ‘waste from household’ recycling rates are summarised in the table below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><p><strong>Recycling Rates</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>York City Council</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Yorkshire and the Humber</strong></p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>UK (excl.
