answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2023 answer text <p>The UK, alongside G7 partners, has introduced unprecedented and wide-ranging sanctions on Russian oil and oil products, and the revenues they generate. The government has moved swiftly to ensure we have the right tools and structures in place to rigorously enforce those sanctions. Alongside our partners, we continue to monitor our oil-related measures and reserve the right to take further action to ensure their effectiveness. UK law requires breaches of sanctions to be reported to HM Treasury, however we do not require reporting from non-UK entities or where the service is outside the scope of the relevant sanctions.</p><p> </p><p>While flagging and registration services are not in scope of the ban on maritime services for the transport of Russian oil and associated oil price cap, the UK government can make use of a process of applying sanctions and deregistration in the event of any circumvention or breach of the maritime services prohibition by UK-flagged ships.</p><p> </p><p>Any UK-flagged vessel which the Secretary of State has reasonable grounds to suspect is, has been, or is likely to be, involved in circumventing or breaching the Maritime Services Ban could could be deregistered from the UK shipping register.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 23/05/2023 09:10:03 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies

uin	184902
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2023 answer text <p>The Department requires a high level of accountability and transparency from academy trusts. Academy trusts’ status as companies, charities and public sector bodies means they are all subject to rigorous accountability systems. The explicit responsibilities of trust executive leaders as Accounting Officers are set out in the Academy Trust Handbook.</p><p>Where non-financial or financial non-compliance or governance failure is identified, including by trust executive leaders, Regions Group or the Education and Skills Funding Agency respectively will intervene in a way that is proportionate to the risk and preserves education provision. This can include issuing a trust with a Notice to Improve or, in the most serious cases, termination of the Funding Agreement.</p><p>To strengthen the support for executive head teachers and Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), the Department is introducing a new Multi Academy Trust CEO Development programme. The Department has convened an expert panel across school leadership and business to codify the knowledge, skills, and behaviours of a CEO of a large trust into the new ‘Multi Academy Trust Leadership Development: CEO Content Framework’. The document includes the need for robust internal structures for a trust’s board to hold the CEO to account.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 22/05/2023 14:26:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2023 answer text <p>The primary responsibility for the oversight of academy trusts, and the schools within them, rests with the trustees of an academy trust. The Department requires a high level of accountability and transparency from academy trusts. Academy trusts’ status as companies, charities, and public sector bodies, means they have a rigorous tri-partite scrutiny framework.</p><p>Academy trusts have the freedom to centralise functions to take advantage of economies of scale and obtain best value for money. Where academy trusts top slice from their academies’ budgets to pay for these services, they must be transparent by disclosing the basis and value in their accounts. They must include additional disclosures in their annual accounts about the services they deliver centrally and the charging policy they apply. They must also identify the share against each academy.</p><p>Academy trusts have delivered strong financial health across the sector. The latest published data shows that in 2020/21, 97.3% of trusts had a cumulative surplus or a zero balance.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 22/05/2023 15:32:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
