Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, which electricity interconnector projects (a) have received approval and (b) are awaiting approval; and what the megawatt capacity is of each proposed project.

Answered by Justin Tomlinson - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Ofgem is responsible for awarding regulatory approval to electricity interconnector projects in Great Britain. There are two main routes to regulatory approval, through the awarding of a cap and floor regime, or a merchant route. Including both routes, Ofgem has given approval to the following projects:

• IFA 2000MW (GB - France)
• Moyle 500MW (GB - Northern Ireland)
• BritNed 1000MW (GB - Netherlands)
• East-West 500MW (GB - Republic of Ireland)
• Nemo Link 1000MW (GB - Belgium)
• IFA2 1000MW (GB - France)
• North Sea Link (NSL) 1400MW (GB - Norway)
• ElecLink 1000MW (GB-France)
• Viking Link 1400MW (GB - Denmark)
• Greenlink 500MW (GB - Republic of Ireland)
• GridLink 1250MW (GB - France)
• FAB 1250MW (GB - France)
• NeuConnect 1400MW (GB-Germany)

Ofgem is assessing a selection of projects that applied for regulatory approval through the third cap and floor application window. These results are interim and are being consulted upon. The final decision will be made in summer 2024 by Ofgem. The projects that are awaiting final regulatory decisions are:

• Aminth 1400MW (GB - Denmark)
• Cronos 1400MW (GB - Belgium)
• NU-Link 1200MW (GB - the Netherlands)
• LirIC 700MW (GB - Northern Ireland)
• MaresConnect 750MW (GB-Republic of Ireland)
• Aquind 2000MW (GB - France)
• Nautilus 1400MW (GB - Belgium)
• Tarchon 1400MW (GB - Germany)
• Lion Link 1800MW (GB-the Netherlands)

Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, how many electricity interconnectors are operational; and what the megawatt capacity is per interconnector.

Answered by Justin Tomlinson - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

Great Britain currently has nine operational interconnectors, listed alongside their deployed capacity:

• IFA 2000MW (GB - France)
• Moyle 500MW (GB - Northern Ireland)
• BritNed 1000MW (GB - Netherlands)
• East-West 500MW (GB - Republic of Ireland)
• Nemo Link 1000MW (GB - Belgium)
• IFA2 1000MW (GB - France)
• North Sea Link 1400MW (GB - Norway)
• ElecLink 1000MW (GB - France)
• Viking Link 1400MW (GB - Denmark)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has (a) requested and (b) reviewed data from the expert review panel set up by the Norwegian government into the cause of death in relation to patients who have received a Covid 19 vaccine.

Answered by Maria Caulfield - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) (Minister for Women)

Following the initial roll out of the COVID-19 vaccination programme in December 2020, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) had a comprehensive surveillance strategy in place, enabling continual close monitoring of emerging safety evidence, including relevant safety information from international regulators. This included engagement with the European Medicines Agency to discuss data emerging from European Member States and countries in the European Economic Area, such as Norway. The MHRA communicates safety advice based upon consideration of the totality of evidence from all relevant information sources, rather than the strengths and limitations of individual data sources.

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the risk that higher education institutions succumb to pressure from student unions to undertake boycott divestment and sanction actions in relation to their investment and procurement decisions.

Answered by Baroness Neville-Rolfe - Minister of State (Cabinet Office)

The Government is aware that the BDS Movement has taken credit for divestments from Israeli companies carried out by universities following pressure from student campaigns. For example, the BDS Movement took credit for divestments from Israeli military suppliers by the University of Manchester in 2020 and procurement decisions by King’s College London and Southampton University. The Government is also aware of recent examples of student unions passing motions to lobby their universities to boycott and divest from Israeli companies, including for example Manchester University Student Union in 2022 and Warwick University Student Union in 2023. There are concerns that these campaigns can damage community cohesion and legitimise antisemitism. There are also examples overseas of the BDS Movement pressing universities to boycott or divest from Israeli companies for example in Norway or the United States of America. The Bill rightly applies to universities and higher education providers to prevent them succumbing to student union pressure in the future and to tackle this type of divisive activity on campuses.

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they are aware of any examples in the past five years of higher education institutions succumbing to pressure from student unions to undertake boycott divestment and sanction actions in relation to their investment and procurement decisions.

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Barran on 19 February (HL2185), whether they plan to undertake a detailed review of the teaching of financial literacy in Denmark, Norway and Sweden with a view to updating the mathematics national curriculum.

Answered by Baroness Barran - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The department has no plans to undertake a detailed review of the teaching of financial literacy in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The department continues to work closely with HM Treasury and the Money and Pensions Service to monitor the evidence base for financial education to understand what works and what further support schools may need.

In order to provide stability for schools and to enable them to remain focused on raising standards of literacy and numeracy and recovery from the pandemic, the government has committed to making no changes to the national curriculum for the remainder of the Parliament.

The current mathematics curriculum in England already provides young people with the mathematical knowledge that underpins their ability to make important financial decisions. Mathematics is compulsory in maintained schools and academies must teach a broad and balanced curriculum, including mathematics. Since 2014, the department has reformed the mathematics curriculum and examinations system, bringing teaching practice from high-performing jurisdictions from across East Asia to primary and secondary schools in England.

International comparison studies of school-aged pupils show that England performs above the international averages for mathematics for all age groups. Before the pandemic, England achieved its highest ever mathematics score in the 2019 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study international test for year five pupils.

Ofsted’s latest mathematical subject report in 2023 stated that primary mathematics education has seen "a resounding, positive shift" with curriculum sitting "at the heart of leaders' decisions and actions", whilst secondary mathematics education has seen "notable improvements" in curriculum guidance and professional development.
