answer text <p>Recent data shows that there are now over 468,000 full time equivalent (FTE) teachers in state funded schools in England, an increase of 27,000 (6%) since 2010. This makes it the highest number of FTE teachers since the School Workforce Census began in 2010.</p><p>Information on the school workforce in England, including the number of teachers joining and leaving service nationally, is published in the ‘School Workforce in England’ statistical publication, available at: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england</a>.</p><p>The table attached provides the latest data for the academic years 2019/20 to 2021/22 of the FTE number of qualified teachers leaving and the leaving rate, from state funded schools, by region. For consistency with previously provided information, entrants numbers and rates have also been provided.</p><p>Leavers are defined as qualified teachers leaving the state funded sector in England, for example due to a change of career or joining other UK education sectors, and those leaving on career breaks such as maternity leave or secondments outside of the school sector. Some of these teachers may rejoin a state funded school in England at a later date.</p>

answer text <p>The felling of trees in England is a legally controlled activity regulated by the FC, which, with some exceptions, requires a Felling licence. If a licence is not acquired the felling is an offence and the individual can be subject to a fine. The amount individuals can be fined for illegal felling recently increased, and Forestry Commission can now issue an unlimited fine for felling they deem in breech of regulations.</p><p> </p><p>In many instances it is also possible for the Forestry Commission to serve a Restocking Notice, which compels the offender to restock the land with trees. Recent changes ensured restocking notices are now considered land charges, which means replanting trees will be required on land where trees were wrongly felled, even if the land is sold or new planning permissions are applied for on the land.</p><p> </p><p>Local planning authorities also already have the power to serve Tree Preservation Orders which protect individual trees or areas of trees, even where they are exempt from the need for a felling licence.</p><p> </p><p>Anyone who contravenes an Order by damaging or carrying out work on a tree protected by an Order without getting permission from the local planning authority is guilty of illegal felling and subject to the fine described. No assessment has been made in regard to adding any additional tariffing system, however, we committed to reforming our felling licence system and controls in the England Trees Action Plan; and indeed, strengthened the enforcement provisions of the felling licence regime through the Environment Act 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Further work has begun investigating potential future legislative reforms to the system that would primarily involve the introduction of greater flexibility to licence conditions, improved clarity around felling controls and UK Forestry Standard requirements.</p>

UK Research and Innovation provides the core funding for the National Centre for 3Rs, which drives the uptake of 3Rs technologies.

In Financial Year 2022/23 FCDO allocated funding of £24,137,116 to 1188 children in education overseas.</p><p>Legacy FCO and legacy DFID have slightly different provisions in relation to education of children when staff are serving overseas and bringing these together into a single policy provision is one aspect of the alignment of Terms and Conditions of Service work currently underway in the FCDO.</p><p>In legacy FCO, it was a condition of their employment that members of the diplomatic service must be prepared to serve anywhere in the world at any time during their career, sometimes at very short notice. It is long-standing practice that the legacy FCO provides clearly defined and limited financial support to staff to help maintain the continuity of their children's education. Many parents prefer to take their children with them when they are posted abroad and are required to ensure that their children receive a full-time education from the start of the school term beginning after the child's 5th birthday, continuing until they reach school leaving age. In countries where there is no suitable free English language based schooling available (currently all countries except Australia, New Zealand and the United States), Legacy FCO will meet the costs of schooling, where available, at an appropriate English language school in the city of posting.</p><p>However, there are a number of countries, where we do not permit staff to take their children for health or security reasons. In others, local schools of an acceptable standard are not available. Additionally frequent moves by staff and families between the UK and overseas, and between posts overseas, can be disruptive to the education of the children, therefore, legacy FCO provides Continuity of Education Allowance (CEA) to support the children's education. This allows eligible staff to claim for termly tuition fees up to the agreed ceiling, school registration fees, deposits and examination costs. Where school fees exceed the ceiling, staff are required to meet the difference. The allowance is implemented within a strict governance framework and is reviewed regularly.</p><p>CEA is a long-standing policy run under successive governments since 1996, and I refer the Right Honourable Member to PQ [60896] which outlines departmental spend on private schooling for the children of its staff between 1997 and 2005. CEA enables staff who continue to meet certain eligibility criteria to choose to provide an education for their children at a British boarding school in the UK while they continue to take up postings overseas at regular intervals during their career.
