answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2022 answer text <p>With production of ornamentals being worth £1.4 billion in the UK at farm-gate in 2020, the Government recognises the importance of the ornamental horticultural industry sector to our economy. Last year the Ornamental Horticulture Roundtable Group published their 'Unlocking green growth: A plan from the ornamental horticulture &amp; landscaping industry'. This identifies how barriers to the sector's growth can be unlocked through a collaborative approach between government and industry, with one of the opportunities for the sector's growth identified as the inclusion of UK ornamental horticulture and landscaping as part of the government's global export strategy. We are working with industry and across government to explore how this can be achieved.</p><p>Exports of ornamentals were worth £68 million in 2020. DIT works closely with the Commercial Horticulture Association (CHA), providing support to horticultural exporters from across the UK (including tree and plant growers, ornamental horticulture and landscaping). Jointly, DIT and CHA have developed a capability brochure showcasing UK capability in horticulture, which is available on the Agri-Tech UK portal <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.agritech-uk.org%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7CEmma.Pryor%40defra.gov.uk%7C64dee4d3971f42a8364208da5d9c85bf%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C637925224087402294%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C7000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=HoXPijFAngI8wUxowgszBQMEfOw8ER3wSeH34MFy3OM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">www.agritech-uk.org</a>.

The Department has commissioned HEE to review long-term workforce demand and supply and NHS England will develop a long-term workforce strategy, including supply projections. The forthcoming 10 Year Cancer Plan will also ensure that the appropriate workforce is in place.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 06/07/2022 14:28:41 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of people who deferred entry to university in 2021-22 on offer rates for the academic year 2022-23.
tabling member constituency	Warwick and Leamington
tabling member printed	Matt Western
uin	23377
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2022 answer text <p>The department continues to work closely with the higher education (HE) sector to support the 2022 intake of students to ensure they can go on to their next step in life whether that’s university, on-the-job training, moving into employment or continuing to study elsewhere.</p><p>We are confident that the impact of deferrals on offer rates for the academic year 2022/23 will be minimal. The UCAS end of cycle figures for the 2021/22 academic year cycle show that 6.5% of all accepted applicants deferred their place, a figure that is within 1 percentage point of the proportion who deferred in 2019/20 and 2020/21. There is no cap on the number of people who can go into HE and universities are prepared to meet the potential demand.</p><p>The department encourages students applying to university to be ambitious with their study choices and take the time to consider the route that is best for them. A large proportion of universities, including many in the Russell Group, will have places available in Clearing, which will provide opportunities for those who may have just missed their predicted grades.</p> answering member constituency Morley and Outwood answering member printed Andrea Jenkyns question first answered 19/07/2022 15:18:36 answering member 4490 label Biography information for Dame Andrea Jenkyns
