answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2017 answer text <p>Young people from disadvantaged backgrounds are entering at record rates to the most selective universities. There are also record entry rates across all ethnic groups.</p><p>The guidance to the Director of Fair Access (DfA), published in February 2016, asked for the most selective institutions, to make faster progress on widening access, and to ensure their outreach is more focused. This report can be found in the attached document.</p><p>The DfA has agreed access agreements for 2018/19 with plans for universities to spend more than £860 million on measures to continue to support improving access and student success for students from disadvantaged and under-represented backgrounds, up significantly from £404 million in 2009. We are introducing sweeping reforms through legislation. The Higher Education and Research Act includes a transparency duty requiring all universities to publish applications, offers, and acceptance and retention rates broken down by gender, ethnicity and social economic background. This will help to hold them to account for their performance on access and retention. In addition, we expect all universities, particularly the most selective, to help raise attainment and support school improvement, including through school sponsorship and by establishing new state schools.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 06/11/2017 18:00:41 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Coventry
uin	HL2399
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/10/2015 answer text <p>The British Government is very concerned about the case of Ali Mohammed Al-Nimr. We have raised this case with the Saudi Arabian authorities at a senior level including by the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond). We will continue to follow this case closely. The UK opposes the death penalty in all circumstances and in every country, especially in cases which do not meet the minimum standards defined by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. This includes the execution of a minor and the use of the death penalty for a crime which isn’t deemed “the most serious”.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/10/2015 14:41:38 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

The EU Delegation in Ukraine provides funding for a number of projects in areas such as energy, environment and the sustainable management of natural resources. In addition, Ukraine is a partner country to the Erasmus+ programme, and therefore has automatic access to a number of Erasmus+ activities in the area of youth and higher education, financed through EU external and internal funds.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 17:47:27 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
