Government is committed to building the resilience and independence of smaller charities. In recognition of this, the Office for Civil Society in England are providing a multi-year programme of fundraising training and support. The aim is to help small, local charities build their fundraising skills, knowledge and confidence through face-to-face training, intensive one-to-one advice sessions, skilled volunteering matches and webinars. The training will be provided at little or no cost and the providers will also develop and share fundraising training resources and toolkits to support small charities who might not be able to attend training.<\/p>

The process required to sell part of the English student loan book under the Sale of Student Loans Act (2008) was launched in February this year. An update will be provided in due course.<\/p>

<\/p>

A sale on the basis set out in February would not represent a step towards privatisation of the provision or administration of student loans. The position of people with student loans would not be affected as a result of such a sale.<\/p>

The proposed sale comprised the rights to future repayments and would not involve alteration of the mechanisms or terms of repayment.<\/p>

All service changes should be based on clear evidence that they will deliver better outcomes for patients. It is right that these decisions are led by local clinicians, who best understand the healthcare needs of their local populations, and in consultation with local people.<\/p>

<\/p>

Any changes should meet the four Government tests for significant service change: they should have support from general practitioner commissioners, be based on clinical evidence, demonstrate public and patient engagement, and consider patient choice.

BEIS run a quarterly survey of domestic electricity and gas suppliers. This survey has coverage of around 85 per cent of the market. Data is supplied to BEIS, on numbers of customers by tariff by region by payment type, but as this data is supplied in confidence, individual tariff or company data cannot be made publically available.<\/p>

Aggregate statistics are produced and published as part of our quarterly energy prices (QEP) publication. In quarter 1 2017, we estimate 66 per cent of standard electricity and 65 per cent of gas customers were on variable tariffs. Our current methodology does not breakout standard variable tariffs from other variable tariffs.<\/p>

The UK will remain an open and tolerant country; one that recognises the valuable contribution migrants make to our society and welcomes those with the skills and expertise to make our nation better. We will control immigration so that our system serves the national interest.<\/p>

<\/p>

As we conduct the negotiations to leave the European Union, it must be a priority to regain more control of the numbers of people who come here from Europe. It will take time to achieve that because until we leave the European Union we will still be affected by free movement rules.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government will not solely rely on the Brexit negotiation to deliver the net migration target. We are clear that employers must move away from an unsustainable reliance on migrant workers. We have closed Tier 1 routes which allowed non-EEA migrants to come to the UK to look for work. We have reformed the employer-led Tier 2 route following expert advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee.
