answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2023 answer text <p>Schools and colleges have autonomy to choose what resources to use or recommend to their individual pupils. It is for schools to decide which resources to use to help deliver their teaching of the National Curriculum or to complement pupils' understanding of the curriculum outside the classroom, including in circumstances when pupils are not under a teacher’s supervision.</p><p>Oak National Academy, a non-Departmental public body, provides resources in a range of subjects, including at GCSE level. These resources are optional, adaptable, and free for schools to use and are available at Oak’s online platform: <a href="https://www.thenational.academy/" target="_blank">https://www.thenational.academy/</a>.</p><p>Oak is now developing improved curriculum packages in English, mathematics, science, history, geography, and music. The first new materials in those subjects will be available from September 2023 and full packages available from September 2024.</p><p>Schools also have access to the National Tuition Programme, which makes available subsidised tutoring to boost progress and support pupils’ education. Improving educational outcomes for disadvantaged children has always been at the forefront of the tuition programme’s purpose and schools are advised to prioritise Pupil Premium pupils when selecting those to receive tuition.</p><p>In summer 2023, GCSE, AS and A level examinations in England are largely returning to pre-pandemic arrangements. Pupils will not be provided with advance information of exam content, as was the case for examinations in 2022. Pupils will continue to be provided with formulae and equation sheets in GCSE mathematics, physics and combined science examinations.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 15/03/2023 17:11:09 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2022 answer text The Government is committed to supporting UK businesses to engage with China in a way that reflects the UK's values and takes account of national security concerns. We have published guidance which provides firms with clear, up-to-date information and specialist support to help negotiate the ethical, legal and commercial questions they may encounter in China or when working with Chinese businesses, supporting safe and appropriate UK-China collaboration in the digital and technology space. In addition, the Government has introduced Overseas Business Risk guidance that makes it clear to UK businesses the need to consider the risks of exposure to entities that may be providing or developing surveillance technologies. The Government is also working to provide additional guidance for UK Government bodies to help them exclude suppliers where there is sufficient evidence of modern slavery violations in any of their supply chains. We continue to keep our policy position under review, working closely with our international partners. answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 22/02/2022 17:17:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
