answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>Across England there are 173 social housing buildings that are over 18 metres tall and clad with some form of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM). Systems that failed the Government’s large scale cladding tests are in use on 165. Cladding systems that passed the tests are in use on eight social housing towers. As each test was completed the Government contacted the owners of all affected buildings to share detailed advice drawn up by the Independent Expert Advisory Panel. This covers steps to ensure the safety of residents including, where necessary, removal of cladding.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 11/09/2017 15:26:30 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government has not set a date for the permanent rehousing of those who lost their homes, but we are working rapidly to find permanent housing as soon as possible. We have already announced a new block of social housing in Kensington Row that will provide 68 permanent new homes, and we are urgently working with a number of developers to secure similar properties in the area. The Prime Minister said clearly in her statement on 22 June that families who lost their homes as a result of the Grenfell Tower fire will be guaranteed a new home on the same terms as the one they lost. We are working closely with the families to ensure the properties made available will match what they want.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 20/07/2017 16:38:03 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>On 30 June, we published a note at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/explanatory-note-on-safety-checks-and-testing</a> that sets out the immediate steps providers of social housing should be taking to ensure fire safety following the identification of Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding. It is for the building owner to consider whether to remove cladding. They should take expert professional advice on this. Removal of cladding needs to be done safely and without compromising other aspects of the building’s external wall system.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/07/2017 13:53:05 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2017 answer text <p>The estimate of 530 given on 3 July came from early work that looked at social housing clad in any sort of aluminium in England. We have since been in regular contact with every local authority and housing association in the country to identify all social housing tower blocks above 18 meters that are clad specifically in aluminium composite material (ACM). Based on work to date, we know there are 173 high rise social housing buildings with ACM cladding in England and that 165 of these buildings have cladding systems that present fire hazards. We are not currently aware of any other ACM clad social housing blocks that are awaiting testing.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 11/09/2017 15:25:48 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

uin	2655
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Education does not hold data on condition funding for schools by constituency, and has responsibility for schools in England only. The Department has allocated over £9 billion in school condition funding nationally from 2011-12 to 2017-18. Allocations total £1.4 billion a year in every year from 2011-12 to 2017-18. In addition, the £4.4 billion Priority School Rebuilding Programme is rebuilding or refurbishing those school buildings in the worst condition across the country.</p><p>Barnsley East is part of Barnsley local authority, which received condition funding (including Devolved Formula Capital, provided directly to schools) of over £24 million from the 2011-12 to 2017-18 financial years, an average of £3.5 million per year. This totals £4.7 million in 2011-12, £4.1 million in 2012-13, £3.5 million in 2013-14, £2.7 million in 2014-15, £2.8 million in 2015-16, £3.4 million in 2016-17 and £3.5 million in 2017-18. Local authorities decide how allocations are distributed to maintained schools in their areas. These amounts do not include allocations made to academies in the area. As academy trusts often allocate funding across local-authority boundaries, it is not possible to calculate condition funding per pupil for a local area.</p><p>Details on current and future school condition allocations are published here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations</a>.</p><p>A breakdown of Devolved Formula Capital funding by institution is available for 2017-18: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/capital-allocations</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 24/07/2017 17:57:24 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/08/2017 answer text <p>The number and percentage of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 achieving[1] each type of school based qualification in (a) Music, (b) Drama, (c) Theatre studies and (d) Art for the years 2013/14 - 2015/16 are shown in the attached table. Drama and Theatre Studies are grouped together as part of the school performance tables and are therefore presented together in the data.</p><p> </p><p>The percentages of the total GCSE cohort entered for each subject are included in the attached table. The GCSE cohort is defined as all pupils who entered at least one GCSE subject and consists of 603,305 pupils in 2013/14, 597,477 pupils in 2014/15 and 584,013 pupils in 2015/16.</p><p> </p><p>Caution should be taken when interpreting the ‘percentage of GCSE cohort entered for Art/Music/Drama &amp; Theatre Studies’. GCSE Art, Music and Drama &amp; Theatre studies are categories comprising more than one subject and a pupil may have been entered for multiple subjects, whereas, the GCSE cohort figures relate to individual pupils. Therefore, this figure slightly over-estimates the number of pupils entering these subject areas.</p><p>Data for the years 2009/10 – 2012/13 are not provided because collating this information is complex due to changes in the school performance tables and a lack of published content prior to 2012[2], therefore producing this data would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p>The number of entries to the requested subjects, and grades achieved, is published at school level as part of the ‘Key Stage 4 performance tables’ underlying data[2].</p><p>Caution should also be used when comparing this data with that provided on 14 January 2013, Official Report, column 533W[3] due to methodological changes in the intervening years.</p><p> </p><p>[1] ‘Achievement’ (or a pass) has been defined as any result which does not count as a ‘Fail’ or ‘Ungraded’ for that particular qualification.
