data.gov.uk<\/a> as part of the Government\u2019s commitment to transparency. In order to do so, departments individually collect and present data including names, grades, job titles, and annual pay ranges from Permanent Secretary through to SCS2. Information for those at SCS1 is anonymised.<\/p>The decision to only publish names for SCS2 and above dates back to 2010, and was made on the grounds of proportionality and reasonable expectations of privacy. The guidance for publication of SCS transparency data was reconfirmed in 2017, and has been reviewed regularly to ensure that it is still appropriate and provides the information that the public might reasonably need.<\/p>

While we have not made representations on these reports, we have repeatedly made clear to the Israeli authorities our longstanding concerns about the manner in which the Israel Defense Forces police non-violent protests and the border areas, including the use of live ammunition. We encourage them to carry out transparent investigations into whether the use of live fire had been appropriate and call on Israel to adhere to the principles of necessity and proportionality when defending its legitimate security interest.<\/p>"}

· LEPs are strategic partnerships made up of business, local authority leaders, and other public sector partners.<\/p>
<\/p>
· They are accountable for decisions they make, with democratic accountability provided through the local authority leader representation, and financial accountability through each LEP\u2019s accountable local authority, which receive funds on behalf of their LEP.<\/p>
<\/p>
· To ensure basic accountability standards are upheld, Government has established a set of clear national standards and principles which are set out in the published Accountability Systems Statement for the local growth fund, and the underpinning LEP assurance framework. These standards are broadly equivalent to much of what we expect of local government, building on, rather than duplicating the existing local government framework set out in the Accountability Systems Statement for Local Government and for Fire and Rescue Authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
· In line with this national framework, LEPs and their accountable local authorities have put in place local decision making systems to ensure funds are spent with regularity, propriety and value for money. These arrangements are published in each LEP\u2019s own local assurance framework.<\/p>
<\/p>
· In parallel Government has also developed a coherent approach to the monitoring and evaluation of Growth Deals which LEPs are responsible for. LEPs will report against a range of data on inputs, outputs and outcomes providing clarity to Government and the public about what LEPs have delivered with their Local Growth Fund resources.<\/p>
