question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to fill vacant school governor positions.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL6223
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2014 answer text <p>Responsibility for filling a vacancy on a governing body rests with the relevant appointing body for that vacancy. This will vary depending on the category of school and the category of governor.</p><p>Governing bodies should review their membership and size on a regular basis and ensure that appointments are made in an efficient and timely manner. The Governors' Handbook recommends that for every vacancy, governing bodies should conduct a skills audit to identify any gaps in the skills, knowledge and experience of existing governors. Governing bodies should also set out the specific skills and experience that the school needs for the relevant appointing body or electorate.</p><p>The Department for Education has committed funding to School Governors' One-Stop Shop (SGOSS), the governor recruitment charity, to March 2015. SGOSS provides a free service, matching high quality candidates that want to become governors with schools that have governor vacancies, according to the skills the schools need. In addition we are working with employers to encourage them to promote volunteering as a governor to their staff. This can potentially provide schools with an important source of highly skilled governors and is also an excellent learning and development opportunity for the employees concerned, carrying benefits back to their employer.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 31/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have any plans to ensure that petrol filling stations are not too far apart.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL6244
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2014 answer text <p>DECC published a report from Deloitte LLP in December 2012, which considered long term changes to the retail market for road fuels in the UK, and the implications of these changes to our energy resilience. This market has changed significantly over the last decade. However, the findings of this report do not suggest that the changes to the size and shape of the retail market for road fuels have had significant impacts on the UK's ability to be able to respond to supply disruptions or that these have significantly reduced the access of UK motorists to a local supply of fuel. The report found that in 2011, 98% of postcode sectors had a petrol filling station within 10 minutes drive, and 92% had more than two within the same travel time.</p><p> </p><p>Decisions on the location of individual petrol filling stations are for local planning authorities.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Verma question first answered 27/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3790 label Biography information for Baroness Verma
