To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many children have been registered as homeless in (a) Ashfield and (b) Broxtowe in each of the last five years.

Mr Marcus Jones

The numbers of households with dependent children (including expected children) accepted as homeless in Ashfield and Broxtowe in each of the last five years is shown in the table below. It is not possible to give precise numbers of children in accepted households.

The figure for Broxtowe for 2011/12 is less than five and has been suppressed to avoid the risk of disclosing personal information.

Data are collected on the numbers of households accepted as being in priority need as a result of the applicant being aged 16 or 17. There were less than 5 such cases in Ashfield and Broxtowe during the last five years combined.

Period	Ashfield	Broxtowe
2010/11	15	6
2011/12	9	*
2012/13	12	7

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps are being taken to address the downward trend in cervical cancer screening uptake.

Jane Ellison

There is a range of work going on to understand the reasons for the decline and to try to address them. This includes:

– Data and information – access to data, cleansing, benchmarking for providers, timely and useful for commissioners;

– behavioural insight – communication with commissioners, providers, patients, public;

– commissioning levers – commissioning contracts in public health (S7a), primary care;

– partnership work – relationships with commissioners and providers; and

– sharing best practice – what works well, evaluation, how to embed quality improvement

Public Health England Screening is also awaiting the outcome from the Strategies to Increase Cervical screening uptake at first invitation (STRATEGIC) trial which looks at various interventions to help assist women to attend screening and increase uptake across all quintiles. The trial was completed in 2015 and researchers are expected to publish findings later this year.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Gloria De Piero on 2016-07-21.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, in which secondary school subjects her Department has been unable to recruit enough trainee teachers to fill the number of training places allocated in each of the last five years for which data is available.

Nick Gibb

The Department’s teacher recruitment targets for each academic year are calculated on an annual basis and take into account changes in the overall workforce from the previous year and wider economic changes that impact on retention and recruitment. Therefore the absolute targets change each year.

The statistics at the following link show new entrants to initial teacher training (ITT) as a proportion of the targets, for each subject, for academic years 2011/12 to 2015/16. Proportions above 100 per cent represent an over recruitment and proportions below 100 per cent represent a shortfall in recruitment against the target in the year in question.

The relevant statistics are available in Table 1c of the ‘Initial Teacher Training: trainee number census 2015 to 2016’, available at:

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2015-to-2016

Equivalent statistics for academic year 2016/17 are due to be published in November.
