45W Written Answers 20 JUNE 2011 Written Answers 46W Numbers and rates per 10,000 children aged under 18 years Rates 4 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 Worcestershire 37 40 41 45 50 1 Figures exclude children looked after under an agreed series of short term placements. 2 Historical data may differ from older publications. This is mainly due to the implementation of amendments and corrections sent by some local authorities after the publication date of previous materials. 3 England totals have been rounded to the nearest 100 if they exceed 1,000, and to the nearest 10 otherwise. Regional totals have been rounded to the nearest 10. Other numbers have been rounded to the nearest 5. 4 The rates per 10,000 children under 18 years have been derived using the mid-year population estimates for 2009 provided by the Office for National Statistics. Source: SSDA 903 Departmental Renewable Energy David Wright: To ask the Secretary of State for Education how many buildings (a) owned and (b) leased by his Department have had renewable energy equipment installed to provide power in the last 12 months; and what type of equipment was installed in each such case. [59671] Tim Loughton: The Department for Education has not installed renewable energy equipment in any of its owned or leased buildings in the last 12 months. However, 123 photovoltaic panels were installed onto the roof of 2 St Paul’s Place in Sheffield, a property owned by the Department, in May 2010. These panels generate approximately 16,000 kWh of electricity a year, for use within the building. Departmental Responsibilities Mr Nicholas Brown: To ask the Secretary of State for Education what strategic framework his Department has developed for the delivery of its core functions during the comprehensive spending review period. [59731] Tim Loughton: The Department for Education’s business plan, initially published in November 2010 with a refreshed version published in May 2011, sets out the Department’s high-level vision and reform priorities for the whole of the spending review period, alongside the resources we will spend and the data we will be making available to the public to show the impact our reforms are having. Progress against the business plan is set out in the structural reform plan monthly updates on the No. 10 website. Design: Curriculum Simon Kirby: To ask the Secretary of State for Education whether he has assessed the effects on the creative industries and manufacturing of the potential removal of design and technology from the national curriculum. [59822] Mr Gibb: As part of the current review of the national curriculum we will be considering all the relevant evidence before making proposals on which, if any, subjects beyond English, mathematics, science and physical education should remain part of the national curriculum in future. We have already completed a Call for Evidence to which the public were invited to contribute their views and experiences about curriculum subjects, including design and technology. We received nearly 5,800 responses, including many from representatives of industry and commerce, and these are currently being analysed. We will draw on this and other evidence, including relevant international evidence, in drawing up our proposals. There will then be a further statutory consultation on those proposals early next year, before final decisions are taken. Home Education Yasmin Qureshi: To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the effects of funding reductions on the provision of one-to-one tuition in the summer term for pupils approaching examinations or end of primary school assessments. [60897] Mr Gibb: £256 million was allocated to schools in 2010-11 through the Standards Fund for one-to-one tuition. This funding has not been reduced and schools can use it until 31 August 2011. The conditions for the use of this funding have been relaxed to allow all schools the flexibility to offer one-to-one tuition at Key Stage 4, from within their Key Stage 3 allocations. Funding for one-to-one tuition for 2011-12 has been included as part of schools’ overall budgets through the Dedicated Schools Grant (DSG). Schools can use their DSG funding as they see fit. Where schools decide to offer one-to-one tuition, they will have more flexibility to provide it in the way that best suits their pupils. Marriage Guidance: Grants Andrew Selous: To ask the Secretary of State for Education pursuant to the answer of 27 April 2011, Official Report, column 497W, on marriage guidance: grants, what proportion of the work of each organisation listed funded by his Department’s Voluntary and Community Sector Grants Scheme will be (a) preventative couple relationship support, (b) relationship counselling for couples in difficulty and (c) work with families which have already experienced break-up; in which local authorities they will work; and how many couples he expects each organisation to help.
