To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the total value of (a) public service contracts and (b) grants that were awarded by local authorities to voluntary sector organisations in the last year for which figures are available.
Brandon Lewis
[Holding Reply: Monday 30 June 2014]
Our most recent estimates suggest that local authorities in England gave £1.1 billion in grants to voluntary bodies in 2012-13. A further £23.9 billion was spent on public service contracts, which would include those awarded to both voluntary and private sector bodies (a breakdown between the two is not available). These figures are based on updated methodology and returns, and are not comparative to the previous figures supplied to my hon. Friend.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what proportion of children receive free school meals in each (a) free school and (b) local authority area where a free school has been established.
Mr David Laws
Information on the percentage of pupils known to be eligible for and claiming free school meals was included in the publication ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics, January 2014′.[1]
Information on the percentage of pupils known to be eligible for and claiming free school meals in individual schools, including free schools, is provided in the publication’s underlying data. This includes school type and local authority.
Table 8a in the publication shows the percentage of pupils in state-funded nursery and primary schools known to be eligible and claiming free school meals by each local authority area. Table 8b shows the percentage of pupils in state funded secondary schools known to be eligible and claiming free school meals by each local authority area. Table 3 shows the percentage of pupils known to be eligible for and claiming free school meals in free schools nationally.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Griffiths on 2014-06-25.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of the total value of public service contracts that were awarded by (a) his Department and (b) NHS bodies to voluntary sector organisations in the last year for which figures are available.
Dr Daniel Poulter
The total value of public service contracts awarded by the Department on voluntary sector organisations’ contracts in 2012-13 was £39.77 million and for NHS bodies, which is taken to mean primary care trusts (PCTs), the equivalent was £542.76 million.
Prior to their abolition in 2013, the vast majority of healthcare commissioned by the NHS was directly through PCTs, who were responsible for commissioning healthcare from providers based on the needs of their local population.
2013-14 information for both the Department and NHS bodies will not be available until the Department’s Annual Report and Accounts 2013-14 are published later in the year.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Griffiths on 2014-06-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of registered sex offenders who travel abroad each year.
Lynne Featherstone
Public protection is a priority for this government, and the notification requirements for registered sex offenders form an invaluable tool in the management of offenders within the community. The UK has some of the toughest
powers in the world to deal with sex offenders and we are committed to ensuring that the system is as robust as it can be.
In 2012 this government extended and strengthened the system, including requiring offenders subject to the to the notification requirements to notify the police of all foreign travel.
Registered sex offenders are managed by the local police force, and data on the number of registered sex offenders who travel abroad are not held centrally.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Griffiths on 2015-01-14.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children were excluded from school for (a) possession and (b) supply of illegal drugs in each of the last five years.
Mr Nick Gibb
The Department for Education does not collect information on the number of pupils excluded from school for the possession and supply of illegal drugs. The Department publishes information on the number of pupils excluded permanently or for a fixed period for ‘drug and alcohol’ related reasons. Guidance to schools clarifies that this category includes exclusions for alcohol abuse, drug dealing, inappropriate use of prescribed drugs, possession of illegal drugs, smoking and substance abuse.
Information showing the number of drug and alcohol related exclusions for 2008/09 to 2012/13 has been included in the attached Excel document. Further information on permanent and fixed period exclusions can be found in the “Statistics: exclusions” series [1].
