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.

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%.

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.

The comments made by Andrew Stephenson, the Conservative MP for Pendle, on Twitter on 24 October 2022.
Now Boris Johnson has ruled himself out it is essential that all Conservatives unite around a new leader & help them tackle the challenges we face.
It’s clear the best person to unite the Party is Rishi Sunak. He can count on my full support as our Prime Minister and I will be voting for him.
