    To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking to expand the languages curriculum to encompass Urdu.

    Elizabeth Truss

    Schools are already able to choose which modern foreign languages they teach, and these can include Urdu. The new programme of study for languages, to be taught in maintained schools from September 2014, makes clear that learning a foreign language should provide an opening to other cultures, foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.

    Andrew Stephenson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Stephenson on 2014-03-17.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many children in (a) Pendle constituency and (b) Lancashire were eligible for but did not claim free school meals in the latest period for which figures are available.

    David Laws

    The Department for Education routinely collects information on pupils who are both eligible for and claiming free school meals. This information is published in the ‘Schools, Pupils and their Characteristics, January 2013′ Statistical First Release[1]. Information on the number of pupils who are eligible for free school meals but do not claim them is not collected by the Department.

    The Department has published a research paper ‘Pupils not claiming free school meals: 2013′[2] which presents estimates of the numbers and proportions of pupils who are entitled to receive free school meals but are not claiming. The paper compares registration rates for children aged between 4 and 15 and highlights regions and local authorities where under-registration rates are high. Figures from this paper show the under-registration rate for Lancashire local authority is 6% compared with an England average of 11%.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what estimate he has made of how many adults in (a) East Lancashire, (b) Lancashire and (c) the North West exercised for at least 30 minutes a week during the most recent period for which figures are available.

    Jane Ellison

    The Department has made no such estimate. However, the Active People Survey commissioned by Sport England measures the proportion of adults (aged 16 and over) who undertake some form of physical activity at moderate intensity (or higher). Data from the most recent survey can be found in the following table.

    Notes:

    1. The data were collected between January 2012 to January 2013 (APS6 Quarter 2 to APS7 Quarter 1).
    2. The APS is commissioned by Sport England and measures the proportion of adults (aged 16 and over) participating in sport and/or undertaking some form of physical activity at moderate intensity (or higher).
    3. The survey uses a 28-day reference period to record the number of minutes of physical activity (of at least 10 minutes) and then divides the number of minutes by four to come up with a weekly average (e.g. two hours of physical activity over the 28 days equates to 30 minutes per week). Number of minutes presented is the equivalent minutes of moderate activity, which consists of moderate activity plus double the number of vigorous minutes of activity.
    4. The activities included in the APS are; sport, recreational cycling and walking, walking and cycling for active travel purposes, dance and gardening.
    5. The percentages are weighted to adjust the results so that they are representative of the whole population at local authority, regional and national level.

  • Andrew Stephenson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

    Andrew Stephenson – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Andrew Stephenson on 2014-03-17.

    To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many criminal offences by foreign-born nationals were recorded in Pendle constituency in each of the last five years.

    Norman Baker

    The Home Office does not hold data on the nationality of offenders, and so cannot provide data on the number of offences committed by foreign-born nationals that were recorded by police in Pendle.

    The Home Office collects aggregate data on the number of offences recorded by the police, available at police force area and Community Safety Partnership level. However, we do not hold details about the people responsible for these offences.

    The Ministry of Justice collects details on the number of offenders and offender characteristics, but does not collect information on the number of offences that these offenders commit.
