answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2020 answer text <ol><li>The Prime Minister has publicly stated that education, particularly standing up for the right of every girl in the world to have 12 years of quality education, is a priority for the UK. Between 2009 and 2018, the Government spent £7.08 billion bilaterally from the public purse to support the fulfilment of the UN sustainable development goal on education. This does not include all multilateral spend. Between 2015 and 2019 DFID supported 14.8 million children to gain a decent education, of which at least 5.8 million were girls. UKAid is spent in the countries that need it the most. From 2015 to 2018, the largest number of children supported by DFID education programmes was in Africa, where the majority of out of school children live. Most of the children supported by DFID’s education programmes live in fragile states.</li></ol> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 23/01/2020 09:04:07 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>Funding in relation to the 40 hospital building projects and other capital schemes includes provision for VAT under current VAT rules and recovery will be assessed for each scheme in line with current guidelines. Our funding allocation for the Health Infrastructure Plan (HIP) has been built up by overall cost estimates of the schemes inclusive of VAT, however the amount of VAT that will be payable will be determined once schemes have been fully scoped.</p><p>The criteria used to arrive at the 21 projects covering 34 hospitals, identified to receive seed funding to kick start their schemes considered various aspects. The estates and facilities running costs were a factor, and backlog - in particular, Critical Infrastructure Risk (a subset of the highest risk elements of backlog with a potential for significant impact, e.g. fire safety). Other areas considered were unused and functionally unsuitable space and incidents having an impact on clinical services. Furthermore, the list was checked to ensure regions were fairly represented. All this took place with engagement through National Health Service regional teams taking their view on overall investment need and local prioritisation.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar grouped question UIN 3744 question first answered 28/10/2019 14:36:46 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
