Further Education: Finance
Asked by: Mary Kelly Foy (Labour - City of Durham) Monday 11th November 2024 Question to the Department for Education: To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that new investment in further education contributes to (a) improving staff conditions and (b) closing pay gaps between college and school teachers. Answered by Janet Daby - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education) This government is committed to ensuring there is a thriving further education (FE) sector, which is vital to our missions to break down the barriers to opportunity and deliver economic growth. At the October 2024 Budget, my right hon. Friend, the Chancellor of the Exchequer set out an additional £300 million for FE revenue funding to ensure young people are developing the skills this country needs, as well as £300 million new capital funding to address condition and capacity issues in the FE estate. The department will set out in due course how this funding will be distributed. This investment is on top of around an additional £600 million in FE across the 2024/25 and 2025/26 financial years. This includes extending retention payments of up to £6,000 after tax for eligible early career FE teachers in key subject areas, The government does not set pay or conditions within FE. This remains the responsibility of individual providers. However, the department continues to support the sector to recruit and retain expert teachers. We have continued to offer financial incentives for those undertaking teacher training for the FE sector in priority subject areas, worth up to £30,000 each, tax free. Additionally, the department is supporting industry professionals to enter the teaching workforce through the Taking Teaching Further programme. |

Smoking
Asked by: Mary Kelly Foy (Labour - City of Durham) Monday 18th November 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the policy paper entitled Stopping the start: our new plan to create a smokefree generation, last updated on 8 November 2023, reflects his Department's current policy. Answered by Andrew Gwynne - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The landmark Tobacco and Vapes Bill was introduced into Parliament on 5 November, and will be the single biggest public health intervention since the banning of smoking in indoor public spaces. This bill goes further than ever before. It will create the first smoke-free generation, gradually phasing out the sale of tobacco products across the country, enable the Government to strengthen the existing ban on smoking in public places to reduce the harms of passive smoking in certain outdoor settings, ban vapes and nicotine products from being promoted and advertised to children, and introduce tougher enforcement measures, including through providing powers to introduce a retail licensing scheme for tobacco and vapes. This bill will help deliver our ambition for a smoke-free United Kingdom, and forms part of our Health Mission to shift the health system from treatment to prevention. |

Written Parliamentary Questions: Departmental performance in Session 2023–24 Procedure Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Written questions (WPQs) allow MPs to ask for information on the work, policy and activities of Government departments, related bodies, and the administration of Parliament. The cross-Whitehall performance standard is 85% for timely provision of written answers, where responses are deemed ‘on time’ for Ordinary Questions if they are provided within five working days of being tabled, and deemed ‘on time’ for Named Day questions if answers are provided by the specified date. Since 2010, the Procedure Committee has been routinely engaged in the monitoring of Government responses to WPQs. The Committee is currently analysing departments’ performance in responding to WPQs during the 2023–24 Session, and will produce its report in due course. |

Proxy Voting: Review of arrangements introduced in the 2024–25 Session Procedure Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions On 23 October 2024, the House agreed to reintroduce proxy voting arrangements for serious long-term illness and injury by making changes to Standing Order No. 39A. These arrangements mirror those that were in place at the end of the last Parliament. They are, however, time limited, and will expire at the end of the present Session of Parliament. The Leader of the House of Commons wrote to the Chair on 8 October 2024 asking the Committee to review the operation of the temporary arrangements, and to report on their operation before the end of the Session. In her response of 7 November, the Chair indicated that the Committee would also be willing to consider as part of its review any further additions or changes to these temporary arrangements proposed by the Government. On 25 November, the House of Commons agreed to further extend proxy voting arrangements to include complications relating to pregnancy, and extended absence for fertility treatment, as set out in the Leader’s letter to the Chair on 19 November 2024. These arrangements will also be considered as part of this review. |

Status of independent Members of Parliament Procedure Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions In the July 2024 General Election, a record six independent candidates were elected to the House of Commons. In September 2024, five of those MPs informed the Speaker that they were forming an independent grouping in Parliament as a ‘technical group’, rather than a political party. This letter has given rise to questions about the status of parliamentary groupings under House of Commons procedures, and the status of independent MPs as a whole. As well as those who were elected as independents, the last few parliaments have seen many more ‘independent’ MPs, with ‘losing the whip’ being a common event which can now occur in different ways, and does happen more frequently, than in the past. There is therefore the potential for a significant number of ‘independent’ MPs at any given point in the course of a Parliament. This inquiry is looking into the procedural status of independent MPs – both individually and collectively – in the House of Commons. |

Call lists Procedure Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Call lists, or speakers lists, exist in many legislatures around the world, and were employed in the House of Commons during the Covid-19 pandemic to regulate the flow of debates in virtual/hybrid proceedings. Call lists can be a helpful tool in giving Members an indication of when they will be called to speak in a debate, and thus to plan their days more effectively, and in enabling the chair of a debate to decide time limits. However, there are also concerns about their impact on the flow of the debate. This inquiry will examine the matter in detail, and consider any potential merits and drawbacks to using call lists for debates in the House of Commons. |

Elections within the House of Commons Procedure Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions Reforms introduced following the publication of the 2009 Report of the Reform of the House of Commons Committee, Rebuilding the House (‘the Wright Report’, so named after the Chair of the Committee, Tony Wright MP) included the election by the whole House for positions such as some select committee chairs and the Deputy Speakers. The operation of these elections is governed by Standing Orders, however the practicalities around electioneering are not currently regulated, and there is often uncertainty about the types of voting system applied to each election, which varies depending on the position the House is electing. This inquiry will look into the operation of these elections to positions within the House of Commons. |
