The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sharon Hodgson on 2014-06-10.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Margaret Curran on 2014-04-03.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, where each Jobcentre Plus office is in Scotland; when each office opened; and how many people have used each such office in each year since 2010.
Esther McVey
There are 94 Jobcentres in Scotland. A full list of these Jobcentres is provided at Annex 1.
We do not keep a record of when each office opened, so I am unable to supply you with this information.
There are no official statistics kept which would provide you with the number of people who have used each office in each year since 2010. Many people, some of whom are already employed, use the jobpoints or Intranet Access Devices in our Jobcentres but may not make a claim to benefit or register unemployed. It would therefore be impossible to provide you with the total number of people using the Jobcentres.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sharon Hodgson on 2014-06-10.
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what proportion of staff within his Department who have been dismissed following formal disciplinary proceedings in each of the last five financial years classed themselves as white British.
Hugh Robertson
I refer the hon. Member to the answer given by the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General, my right hon. Friend the Member for Horsham (Mr Maude), on 16 June 2014, Official Report, column 433W.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chuka Umunna on 2014-04-03.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what (a) verbal and (b) contractual agreement was made with priority investors in relation to their shareholders during the privatisation of Royal Mail.
Michael Fallon
No verbal or contractual agreement of any description – including future intentions for shareholdings – was made between the Government and any investor in the Royal Mail Initial Public Offering (IPO). Any suggestion that there was a “gentleman’s agreement” is false.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sharon Hodgson on 2014-06-10.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what consideration her Department gives to the diversity policies and records of businesses or other organisations when considering their bid for commercial contracts or grants.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Timms on 2014-06-17.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the number of employment opportunities resulting from the Commonwealth Games; and if he will make a statement.
Esther McVey
It is estimated by the Organising Committee, Glasgow 2014 Ltd, that up to 30,000 employment opportunities will be created by the Commonwealth Games.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Chuka Umunna on 2014-04-03.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the extent to which firms in each region will be economically disadvantaged as a result of the Government’s decision to delay the revaluation of business rates; and if he will publish a list of firms likely to be so disadvantaged.
Brandon Lewis
The Valuation Office Agency published their high level estimates of the impacts of a revaluation in 2015 on 12 November 2012. Their analysis suggests that around 800,000 premises would have seen a real terms increase in their rates at a 2015 revaluation compared with around 300,000 seeing a decrease. A copy of that analysis, including which sectors would have been hardest hit by a 2015 revaluation, is available in the Library of the House.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Baroness Thornton on 2014-06-17.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the feasibility of issuing non-gender-specific official documents to people who do not identify as a particular gender.
Baroness Northover
Under UK law only male or female is recognised as a gender. We recognise that a very small number of people consider themselves to be of neither gender. We are not aware that that results in any specific detriment, and it is not Government policy to identify such people for the purpose of issuing non-gender-specific official documents.
A specific review on gender markings in the British passport was carried out by Her Majesty’s Passport Office, which has been placed in the Library of both Houses. The review concluded that there would be no significant advantages to including a non-gender category along with male and female.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Julie Elliott on 2014-04-03.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what recent discussions he has had with the (a) Prime Minister, (b) Chancellor of the Exchequer and (c) Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on the imposition of a cap on the construction and capacity of onshore wind developments.
Michael Fallon
DECC Ministers meet regularly with other Ministers to discuss a range of issues.
