answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2016 answer text <p>The 2015 National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review identifies cyber security as a priority. We are actively monitoring cyber threats, and continually reviewing and adjusting our security measures. Defence and its people are prominent targets for criminals, foreign intelligence services and other malicious actors seeking to exploit personnel, disrupt business and operations, corrupt systems and steal information. This is not unique to the Ministry of Defence; other Government Departments, industry and business are also affected. The threats constantly changes in scope and complexity, and cyber security depends on a broad range of factors including human, technological and systematic. Our approach therefore spans technical, organisational, policy, procedural and physical measures, and also entails close collaboration with partner organisations across Government.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 05/02/2016 13:20:59 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>Supporting local authorities in their responsibility to ensure sufficient school places in their area is one of the Department’s top priorities. That is why we have committed to investing £23 billion in school buildings between 2016 and 2021 to create 600,000 new school places, open 500 free schools and address essential maintenance needs.</p><p>We allocate basic need funding to local authorities to create the new places required, based on data supplied by authorities themselves. Coventry received £41 million in basic need funding between 2011 and 2015. Local authorities across the West Midlands received a combined total of £305 million over the same period. This support helped to add more than 3,500 primary school places in Coventry between 2010 and 2014, with many more delivered since then and in the pipeline. Nearly 25,000 primary places were added across the West Midlands during this period, and over 300,000 nationally.</p><p>The free schools programme is also helping create school places where they are needed; the Sidney Stringer Primary Academy opened in Coventry in September 2015, and will provide 420 primary places once at full capacity.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 09/02/2016 13:55:38 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson previous answer version 43513 answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
