uin	HL2106
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2014 answer text <p>The National Planning Policy Framework sets out strong protection for the natural environment and valued landscapes and is clear that planning applications for renewable energy should only be approved if the impact is, or can be made, acceptable. In addition our planning guidance makes clear that the need for renewable energy does not automatically override environmental protection and the planning concerns of local communities.</p><p> </p><p>Under the National Planning Policy Framework Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty have the highest status of protection in relation to landscape and scenic beauty. Strong planning protection also applies to Sites of Special Scientific Interest. Development on land within or outside such sites which is likely to have an adverse effect on the site, either individually or in combination, should not normally be permitted.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/10/2014 11:33:49 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p>We are continuing to press for agreement on the full extension of the NCA’s remit in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Justice Minister recently submitted a paper to the Northern Ireland parties, which we believe should allay concerns about the NCA’s accountability. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has pursued this issue regularly in her meetings with the parties and continues to stress the importance of ensuring that Northern Ireland receives the same protection from serious and organised crime as the rest of the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Randerson question first answered 21/10/2014 15:36:27 answering member 4230 label Biography information for Baroness Randerson

tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont
uin	HL2089
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2014 answer text <p>All schools, including academies and free schools, are required to teach a curriculum which is broad and balanced. Within that framework, academies, free schools and other types of independent schools retain the freedom to design and follow their own curriculum. Maintained schools must teach the national curriculum as part of their wider school curriculum. Following the recent review, the Government has slimmed down the national curriculum to give schools greater flexibility to tailor their school curriculum to best meet the needs of their pupils.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 23/10/2014 16:23:10 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont
uin	HL2090
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2014 answer text <p>This Government has recently reformed the statutory framework for teachers’ pay to give maintained schools greater autonomy. New statutory arrangements came into effect in September 2013 that give schools more freedom to decide how much they pay a teacher and how quickly pay progresses. This increased flexibility, which academies already enjoyed, supports headteachers in attracting and recruiting the teachers that they need to deliver outstanding education.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 22/10/2014 16:12:47 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
