answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government considers all the relevant factors in setting the level of the public health grant. Over the five years of the current spending review period we are making over £16 billion of grant funding available to local authorities in England exclusively for use on improving health. The grant is only a proportion of the total spending on public health: for example, NHS England commissions national screening and immunisation programmes with a budget of £1.2 billion in 2017/18, and many other interventions occur in National Health Service primary care settings. Public Health England monitors progress against the wide-ranging set of indicators published in the Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) which shows that, as a whole, for the majority of PHOF indicators the trends in England are either broadly constant or have improved in comparison with 2014.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 29/11/2018 16:05:11 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>No Scottish Limited Partnerships (SLPs) have been fined since the People with Significant Control register came into force.</p><p> </p><p>I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to her on 2nd July 2018 to Question 157783. Compliance is Companies House’s primary aim, rather than prosecution. It is taking action to ensure that all SLPs report their PSC information. Companies House is actively engaged with SLPs and their representatives to make them aware of their responsibilities, and in addition, it has issued reminder letters to all SLPs who have failed to file PSC information. Failure to comply with the requirement to report PSC information does not incur a civil penalty but it is an offence and may lead to a fine or imprisonment upon prosecution. Companies House is not a prosecuting body and will refer cases to a relevant prosecutor when all other avenues have been exhausted and an SLP has not complied with their obligations.</p><p>In April the Government consulted on a package of reforms which would limit the misuse of limited partnerships, including in their Scottish form. I anticipate that the Government’s response will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 04/12/2018 10:08:27 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst previous answer version 86896 answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

Government departments including DCMS, DfE and DHSC have worked with Sport England to develop the new Active Lives: Children and Young People survey. This survey launched in schools in September 2017 and will measure in much more detail how children and young people engage in sport and physical activity, and how many are meeting the Chief Medical Officer's guidelines, both in and out of school.
