Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government when they will publish the outcome of their Understanding the use of unregistered alternative education provision consultation, which ran from 11 July 2022 to 30 September 2022.
Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)
The department recognises the need to strengthen protections for children and young people in unregistered alternative provision settings, so that every placement is safe and has clear oversight.
To find the right solution, the department launched a call for evidence on the use of unregistered alternative provision. The call for evidence closed on 30 September 2022.
The department has commissioned independent analysis of responses to this consultation, which will be published later this year.

Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is the month and year of birth of the youngest person currently paying the reduced National Insurance contribution rate for married women and widows.
Answered by Viscount Younger of Leckie - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions)
HMRC estimates that fewer than 1,000 individuals currently pay the married women’s reduced rate of National Insurance.
HMRC has a statutory duty of confidentiality regarding taxpayer information, which prohibits officers of HMRC from releasing specifics on individual taxpayers. As a result, the Government cannot provide the information requested on the youngest person currently paying the reduced rate of National Insurance contributions for married women and widows.
