answer text <p>The National Pupil Database (NPD) is a longitudinal research database that provides evidence on educational performance to inform independent research, as well as studies commissioned by the Department.</p><p> </p><p>The Department may legally share the NPD (or elements of it) with third parties, using powers set out in Section 537A of the Education Act 1997 and the Education (Individual Pupil Information) (Prescribed Persons) (England) Regulations 2009. Organisations requesting access under those powers must show how it will be used to promote pupils' education, through evidence or research.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to the provisions within the Education Act 1997, in line with the Data Protection Act 1998, where the police or Home Office have clear evidence that a child may be at risk or evidence of criminal activity, limited data including a pupil’s address and school details may be requested from the NPD. It is right that we share this data if it helps to keep a child safe from harm or to disrupt a crime.</p><p> </p><p>This data does not include nationality or country of birth information. These data items are not processed into the NPD. Thus they are not used in any matching work associated with provision of data to the Home Office.</p><p> </p><p>The current Memorandum of Understanding between the Department and the Home Office is in the House Library.</p>

answer text <p>The Reinsurance (Acts of Terrorism) Act 1993 established the government-backed terrorism reinsurer, Pool Reinsurance. The scheme reinsures against business losses caused by physical damage after an act of terrorism, in recognition of the specific challenges in relation to a lack of insurance for industrial and commercial property at that time. It was not designed to cover personal injury claims, such as those caused by a knife or vehicle attack, or non-physical damage, such as data theft.</p><p> </p><p>Within the remit of providing this type of reinsurance, the scheme was recently amended to remove the cyber exclusion. This means that physical damage caused remotely, e.g. by a “cyber trigger”, is included in the scope of cover. This change will come into effect on 1 April 2018.</p><p> </p><p>The government is in regular discussion with the insurance industry, Pool Re and other interested parties to make sure that the Reinsurance Act 1993 continues to enable appropriate terrorism cover to be available for businesses.</p><p>I have also met the hon Member to discuss this.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The current Troubled Families Programme is subject to a comprehensive national evaluation which will assess its effectiveness and value for money. This will report at intervals during the lifetime of the programme.</p><p>The evaluation data published alongside the programme’s first annual report to Parliament (published in April 2017: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-evaluation-of-the-troubled-families-programme-2015-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-evaluation-of-the-troubled-families-programme-2015-to-2020</a> ) provides baseline data for future impact and economic evaluation.</p><p>The assessment of the current programme’s effectiveness will be based on reductions in problems experienced by families. These problems relate to the eligibility criteria for entering the programme. The eligibility criteria are listed in the document “Financial Framework for the Expanded Troubled Families Programme” on page 8 (published April 2015:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/409682/Financial_Framework_for_the_Expanded_Troubled_Families_Programme_april_2015.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/409682/Financial_Framework_for_the_Expanded_Troubled_Families_Programme_april_2015.pdf</a>).</p><p>A cost savings calculator which local authorities use to upload local costs will enable a national cost benefit analysis to be undertaken later in the programme using unit costs attached to outcomes from national administrative datasets and locally submitted costs data. Cost benefit analysis at local authority level will show any costs avoided and savings through the troubled families programme.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>Governance structures are in place to ensure my officials work closely with those in other Government departments, including, but not limited to, the five highlighted here. This is underpinned by extensive informal contact. Officials work together to identify and agree actions to support the delivery of the Troubled Families Programme. This also ensures that other policy areas can share in the learning from the Troubled Families Programme.</p><p>In addition, I am in contact with my opposite numbers in other departments, including the Secretary of State for Education, through our attendance at the Social Reform (Home Affairs) sub-Committee and a number of Inter-Ministerial Groups which oversee policy areas relevant to the programme, such as on mental health, gangs, and violence against women and girls.</p> more like this

answer text <p>As set out in my answer to the Hon Member for Denton and Reddish to Question UIN 49444 on 27 October 2016, ‘turning around’ a family was a phrase used in the first Troubled Families Programme (2012 – 2015). In the current programme (2015-2020), local authorities can claim results payments for families when they can demonstrate that significant and sustained progress has been made against every problem a family is facing, or that continuous employment has been achieved.</p><p>The programme aims to achieve significant and sustained improvement for up to 400,000 complex families with multiple high-cost problems families over its lifetime (2015-2020). The programme’s first annual report to Parliament (published in April 2017 - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-evaluation-of-the-troubled-families-programme-2015-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-evaluation-of-the-troubled-families-programme-2015-to-2020</a>) reported that almost 53,000 families had already made significant and sustained progress, with 3 years of the programme left to run. The next update of these figures will be published at the end of this financial year.</p>

They engage with a wide range of local partners, both governmental and non-governmental, such as health, the police, schools, youth justice, JobCentre Plus and organisations from the voluntary and community sector. It is up to each local authority to decide how best to do this; no two local Troubled Families Programmes are identical.</p> more like this

answer text <p>It is vital that as housing supply increases, the quality of new build homes continues to improve. In our Housing White paper, published earlier this year, we set out our ambition for a housing market that works for everyone. We expect all housing developers to deliver good quality housing, to deliver it on time, and to treat house buyers fairly.</p><p>Where something goes wrong, house builders and warranty providers should fulfil their obligations to put this right. The industry-led Consumer Code for Homebuilders, where applicable, also provides protection to purchasers of new homes.</p><p>Last year the All Party Parliamentary Group for Excellence in the Built Environment produced a report called <em>More Homes, Fewer Complaints</em>, which made a series of recommendations to improve quality and redress. One of their recommendations was to establish a New Homes Ombudsman. We are considering this as part of our wider ambition to improve redress arrangements in all parts of the housing market.</p><p>We also want to make the homebuying process cheaper, faster and less stressful. In October we launched a call for evidence on the home buying and selling process in order to gather views from industry about areas for improvement, and from the public about parts of the process they find most difficult to navigate.</p>
