There have been 3,385 existing bus registration cancellations in 2013/14 to date (with 5 days of the reporting period remaining). This is a reduction on the previous two years. There were also 3,303 new bus service registrations processed by the Office of the Traffic Commissioner across the same 12 month period. <\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Concessionary travel should have no impact on the viability of local bus services as reimbursement to bus operators is not a means to support services which are not viable on a commercial basis. Legislation requires Travel Concession Authorities (TCAs) to ensure that bus operators are left "no better off and no worse off" as a consequence of taking part in the mandatory travel concession. In general, TCAs set their Schemes each year and they have discretion to decide whether or not to offer more than the mandatory concession in their own Scheme areas.<\/p>

The electric powered rolling stock being supplied for the operation on the electrified Liverpool to Manchester line will be cascaded rolling stock. We are currently in negotiations with the current operator with regard to this matter, and will confirm full details in due course.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
It will be for bidders for the new long-term franchise beginning in February 2016 to propose new rolling stock beyond that date. <\/p>

Flyde Borough Council may also seek to do the same through due legal process; however, this is a matter for the council rather than my Department.<\/p>

In 2015-16, in addition to funding all local authorities at the same cash level per pupil as in 2014-15, we will add a further £350 million funding for the least fairly-funded authorities.To allocate this as fairly as possible, we selected the characteristics we think contribute most to the attainment of pupils and viability of schools, and set indicative minimum funding levels for each of these. The characteristics we selected were as follows:<\/p>
1. An age-weighted basic per pupil unit of funding; and<\/p>
2. Additional units of funding for:<\/p>
2.1. deprived pupils;<\/p>
2.2. pupils with low attainment;<\/p>
2.3. pupils with English as an additional language;<\/p>
2.4. children who are looked after, for example in foster care;<\/p>
2.5. a lump sum for all schools, regardless of size, to help with fixed costs; and<\/p>
2.6. funding for schools serving sparsely populated rural areas.<\/p>
These are all characteristics that local authorities already use in distributing schools funding. We looked at the average value attached by local authorities to each of these characteristics and used these as a basis for our proposed minimum funding levels for primary and secondary pupils and schools. As Staffordshire already attracts funding above these levels, it does not stand to gain from these proposals.<\/p>

The Written Statement made by my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State on 11 March 2014 was based on evidence drawn from the European Commission Staff Working Document \u2018Energy prices and costs in Europe' and the International Energy Agency report, \u2018World Energy Outlook 2013'.<\/p>
<\/p>
\u2018Energy prices and costs in Europe' indicates that increases in network costs, taxes, and levies have contributed to rises in EU energy prices. However, the report also identifies that for 22 of the 27 Member States surveyed, support for renewable electricity generation accounts for less than 10% of the household electricity price. It also finds a relatively small impact of the EU ETS carbon price on electricity retail prices either for industry or households.<\/p>
<\/p>
The International Energy Agency report, World Energy Outlook 2013, concludes that the recent widening of the gap between EU and US energy prices is mainly as a result of the sharp drop in wholesale gas prices in the United States due to soaring shale gas production, an increase in oil indexed gas prices in other regions, and higher spot prices for liquefied natural gas.<\/p>

Active engagement with civil society was a key element of preparations and plans for the 58th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women. A robust programme of consultation and engagement with a wide range of civil society organisations was put in place by the Government Equalities Office, so enabling them to take account of the views and representations of UK Non-Governmental Organisations in the negotiations at the Commission. These have included representations on the following:<\/p>
i. a priorities paper on the post-2015 agenda from the UK NGO CSW Alliance;<\/p>
ii. a submission from the Gender and Development Network; and,<\/p>
