To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to help improve educational opportunities in former coalfield areas.
All children and young people should have every opportunity to succeed. Our mission is to make this a reality across the country, including in former coalfield areas.
We’re investing £9.5 billion into early years next year to help families access affordable high-quality childcare places all over the country including those in former coalfield areas. We are also taking bold action to lift 550,000 children out of poverty, tackling the high levels of deprivation seen in many former coalfield areas.
Our “Every Child Achieving and Thriving” white paper sets out our plan to provide a stretching, enriching and inclusive school experience for every child. We are consulting on funding reforms to reflect different lengths and depths of disadvantage that children may be experiencing including the persistent challenges faced in former coalfield areas.
The department is also strengthening routes into post-16 education, employment and training so every young person can progress into secure, well-paid work. We recognise that former coalfield areas face some of the biggest barriers to opportunity and this government will ensure those Children and Young People benefit from the landmark reforms we are making to education and beyond.

In an earlier question reference was made to the English regions, which are of course an EU construction. They divide great counties like Lincolnshire between the east midlands and Yorkshire and the Humber. Is it too much to expect a future Government to scrap these regions when we regain our independence, or at the very least ensure that Lincolnshire is in one of them?

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 2 June 2015 to Question 419, on energy: infrastructure, in which (a) region and (b) companies the jobs in (i) offshore wind and (ii) renewable electricity are supported.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 2 June 2015 to Question 419, on energy: infrastructure, in which (a) region and (b) companies the jobs in (i) offshore wind and (ii) renewable electricity are supported.
Based on figures published by BIS in The Size and Performance of the UK Low Carbon Economy (March 2015)[1] the regional breakdown of jobs supported by the offshore wind and renewable electricity sectors[2] in 2013 is given in Table 1 below. In 2013 around 220 companies operated in the UK in the offshore wind sector as their primary sector of business, with a further 400 companies involved in the sector. A total of 3,600 companies operated in the renewable electricity sector as a whole as their primary sector of business, with a further 7,200 companies involved in this sector.
Table 1: Employment supported by offshore wind and renewable electricity sector by country and region in 2013
Employment by region | Offshore wind | Total renewable electricity |
North East | 1,700 | 6,800 |
North West | 1,000 | 12,800 |
Yorkshire and the Humber | 500 | 10,000 |
East Midlands | 200 | 6,300 |
West Midlands | 1,000 | 8,900 |
East of England | 2,300 | 8,500 |
London | 2,300 | 11,100 |
South East | 800 | 16,400 |
South West | 1,200 | 7,700 |
Wales | 400 | 3,900 |
Scotland | 2,100 | 16,000 |
Northern Ireland | 400 | 1,700 |
England | 10,900 | 88,700 |
UK Total | 13,700 | 110,300 |

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment her Department has made of the potential benefit to the economy of each UK region of investment in the Rampion wind farm.
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, what assessment her Department has made of the potential benefit to the economy of each UK region of investment in the Rampion wind farm.
The Department has not estimated the value of work accruing to UK manufacturing companies in each region from the development of the Rampion wind farm.
In November 2014 the Offshore Wind Industry Council adopted an industry-wide methodology for reporting on UK Content. This reporting helps industry hold itself to account on the commitment to reach 50% UK content, while charting progress and reporting to a wider public. This figure will show total UK content and break this down into the three main phases of development (devex), manufacture & construction (capex) and operation (opex).
The first data will be submitted to RenewableUK by industry in summer 2015 for publication later in the year.

[140209]
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes estimates of regional Gross Value Added (GVA) annually. On 12 December 2012 they published estimates for 2011 that are provisional and may be revised. The following table shows growth rates for regional, sub-regional and local GVA in Wales. All estimates are presented in current prices and not volume measures that take account of price changes.
The need to return the UK economy to sustainable growth that is more balanced across the UK and across sectors has been at the centre of the Government's economic strategy.

The last announcement I saw from the noble Earl’s department said nothing about the IEPs going to East Anglia or to the south-west. The south-west was going to retain the 125s. Has the policy changed?
