Defence Strategic Direction (DSD) translates this top level direction into broad priorities for Defence but it does not set specific goals, or relate to specific missions, activities or threats, and it would not be appropriate or practical to update DSD in the face of each individual crisis or threat.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 07/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede

uin	193311
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not collect information on the number of people with learning difficulties reported being bullied at school.</p><p>The Government is clear that bullying, for whatever reason, is totally unacceptable. All schools are required, by law, to have a behaviour policy with measures to address all forms of bullying including that which occurs online. Schools have the freedom to shape these measures in the context of their particular local circumstances and pupils' needs. Schools are held closely to account by Ofsted for how well they deal with pupil behaviour and safety, which includes bullying.</p><p>We are also providing £4 million of funding over two years from spring 2013 to four organisations - Beatbullying, the Diana Award, Kidscape and The Anti-bullying Alliance (ABA) with the National Children's Bureau (NCB) - to develop effective initiatives that prevent and tackle all forms of bullying.</p><p>As part of their funding, the ABA has recently published a guide to cyberbullying for SEND young people, which contains advice for schools on developing effective anti-bullying practice and we link to this report in our Departmental advice on bullying.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>Estimates for the number of households which do not have mains gas and which use domestic heating oil are not available. However, the number of households that did not have access to a mains gas supply in the Rossendale and Darwen constituency can be estimated by combining figures for the lower layer super output areas that most closely match this area.</p><p> </p><p>In 2012, there were approximately 1,100 households (three per cent) which had no access to mains gas. The number of households that did not have access to mains gas in the North West is estimated to be 156,000 (five per cent of households within the North West).</p><p> </p><p>These data are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/lsoa-estimates-of-households-not-connected-to-the-gas-network" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/lsoa-estimates-of-households-not-connected-to-the-gas-network</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how many spare (a) generator step-up transformers and (b) transmission transformers are held in the UK.
tabling member constituency	Mid Sussex
tabling member printed	Nicholas Soames
uin	193422
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>Electricity generation in the U.K. is privatised and the decisions on spare step-up transformers are for the individual generator businesses. Electricity transmission operations in the U.K. are private, regulated businesses. Decisions on spare transmission connected transformers are matters for the transmission businesses, to meet the licence conditions under which they operate; they form an important component in the provision of reliability of supply. The Department of Energy and Climate Change does not hold data on generator step-up transformer or transmission connected transformer quantities held as spares by industry.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Michael Fallon question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 88 label Biography information for Sir Michael Fallon
