answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2014 answer text <p>The NHS optical voucher scheme provides financial support by way of a voucher to eligible persons to help them buy goods such as spectacles. The vouchers are simply a means of financial support; the VAT consequences result from the goods and services that the voucher is used to buy. Therefore, VAT exemption will apply to the eye test, fitting services and any medical treatment of an eye condition and VAT will apply to the spectacles, irrespective of how payment is made.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

By 2012/13, DFID had trained 99,000 teachers. A major challenge in poor countries is developing the data systems which can capture the needs of children with disabilities. We are therefore supporting UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) to regularly publish education indicators which disaggregate people with disabilities, and to develop new standards for school censuses and surveys related to marginalised populations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 08/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone
