answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2014 answer text <p>I have studied Chemical Biological Radiation Nuclear and Damage Control (CBRNDC), including firefighting, as part of my training as a Royal Navy Reservist. This is a mix of academic study and practical exercises carried out at a number of locations including BRNC Dartmouth, Phoenix CBRNDC School and sea-time on a warship, in my case HMS Bulwark during the Cougar 13 deployment. I have carried out this training over the last 3 years. It is not possible to calculate the number of hours spent on firefighting training but the syllabus for this requirement of Royal Naval Reservist training follows that in the Royal Navy Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defence Manual BR2170.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 28/11/2014 14:35:25 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

uin	215586
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>Funding to local authorities for both primary and secondary schools is calculated on the basis of pupil numbers recorded in the Schools Census in October of the previous year. This lagged funding system allows local authorities to set firm school budgets before the financial year starts, which helps schools’ financial planning. The lagged funding system means that institutions experiencing growth in-year will not ordinarily see increases in their funding until the following financial year.</p><p>Local authorities do have the freedom to top slice the dedicated schools grant to form a growth fund, which can be used to support schools and academies suffering financial difficulty due to growing pupil numbers in their area. It is for local authorities to decide whether to set up a growth fund, and which schools in their areas should benefit from this fund.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 27/11/2014 12:46:56 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>No such discussions have taken place. The UK remains deeply concerned about demolitions of Palestinian property, which cause unnecessary suffering to ordinary Palestinians, are harmful to the peace process and, in all but the most limited circumstances, are contrary to international humanitarian law. The UK and the EU are currently engaging with the Israeli authorities in order to accelerate the approval of UK-funded masterplans for Palestinian communities in Area C of the West Bank. These plans provide the basis for sustainable development in Area C and reduce the risk of demolition.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 24/11/2014 17:49:21 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
