answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>No estimate has been made of cost to the National Health Service of emissions from incinerators.</p><p> </p><p>Public Health England’s position is that well run and regulated modern municipal waste incinerators are not a significant risk to public health. This is because modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2018 14:14:31 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

uin	194053
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>We are aware of recent reports regarding Mohamed Boshi and are tracking the case. The UK regularly raises concerns about freedom of expression with both the Egyptian and Sudanese Governments both in public and private. On 18 September we issued a statement at the UN Human Rights Council in which we raised specific concerns about the 'arrests of activists, bloggers and journalists'. The Minister for the Middle East and North Africa also raised concerns over freedom of expression with the Egyptian Foreign Minister during his visit to Cairo on 14 October. Freedom of expression and freedom of the media also remain a key focus of the human rights strand of the UK-Sudan Strategic Dialogue. During the most recent round of talks, held in London in November, a wide range of human rights issues were discussed with the Government of Sudan, and the Minister for the Commonwealth and the UN specifically raised the importance that the UK places on improvements in freedom of the media.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 26/11/2018 16:17:13 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

uin	194054
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government trusts schools to manage their own budgets and the vast majority are operating with a cumulative surplus, with only a small percentage having a deficit.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will be publishing 2017-18 data on maintained school reserves in December 2018; this will show the schools in Gloucestershire which reported a deficit. 2018-19 data is expected to be published in December 2019. Academy trusts are the legal entities responsible for academies, including their finances, and are accountable at trust level. The accounts for each trust are submitted for publication on the Companies House website by May of each year; the latest accounts, published this year, relate to 2016-17.</p><p> </p><p>The latest figures for Gloucestershire’s maintained schools showed one hundred and eighty-eight primary schools and five secondary schools reporting a cumulative surplus or breaking even, compared to fifteen primary schools and one secondary school reporting a deficit in the financial year 2016-17.</p><p> </p><p>Forty-four primary and thirty secondary academies in Gloucestershire were in trusts that reported a surplus in the academic year 2016-17, compared to one primary and three secondary academies in trusts that reported a deficit. An academy in a local authority may belong to a trust outside the local authority.</p><p> </p><p>Academy trust accounts allow for a significantly higher level of public scrutiny than is required of maintained schools. This is because maintained schools are not required to prepare individual statutory accounts – their financial performance is instead summarised within local authorities’ accounts.</p><p> </p><p>Academy trust accounts are consolidated in the Sector Annual Report and Accounts (SARA). The SARA provides a sector-level overview and does not break down the data by trust or local authority. The Department published the 2016-17 SARA on 6 November and it is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academies-consolidated-annual-report-and-accounts-2016-to-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/academies-consolidated-annual-report-and-accounts-2016-to-2017</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 26/11/2018 17:46:54 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
