To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the continued closure of the Sellafield visitor centre, what proposals they have to publicise information about Sellafield and the nuclear industry to the people of (1) Cumbria, and (2) the United Kingdom.[HL4105]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the continued closure of the Sellafield visitor centre, what proposals they have to publicise information about Sellafield and the nuclear industry to the people of (1) Cumbria, and (2) the United Kingdom.[HL4105]
Sellafield Ltd has entered into an agreement, with the approval of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, to create a public exhibition in the Beacon Centre in Whitehaven that covers the development of the nuclear industry in West Cumbria from its origins through to modern nuclear decommissioning and waste management. The exhibition itself, which will be education focused, will be installed during Spring 2014 and should open to the public later in the Summer. There will also be additional space for short term exhibitions which will support ongoing engagement with the local community.
The Nuclear Industry Council is working with universities, research institutes and other programmes to help the people of the United Kingdom better understand how nuclear energy and radiation are used within society, and how they are managed by the industry.
The Council oversees a workstream dedicated to improving the public understanding of nuclear energy, with membership drawn from industry, academics, independent observers and officials. The workstream has identified key sections of the public they will engage with, including nuclear communities like those in Cumbria.
In addition, publicly funded websites such as those managed by the NDA, Sellafield Ltd and DECC continue to provide a considerable amount of information on the UK's nuclear history, current plans and activities and policy matters.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which local authorities are currently in breach of the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government which local authorities are currently in breach of the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity.
I refer the right hon. Member to my answer of 21 November 2013, Official Report, column 980W, which outlines the local authorities which are still publishing municipal newspapers more frequently than the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity recommends.
Further to my answer of 14 February 2013, Official Report, columns 839-40W, I continue to have serious concerns about the mismanagement of public funds by the London borough of Tower Hamlets. I understand further complaints are being investigated by Ofcom (although Ofcom has no power to take action against the council, only the broadcasters).
This is not a comprehensive list—from time to time, I have been made aware of instances where councils have published publicity at taxpayers’ expense which is clearly in breach of the code.
The provisions of the Local Audit and Accountability Bill will help discourage such abuse of taxpayers’ money and defend the independent free press from unfair municipal competition.

To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, what steps the Electoral Commission takes to promote British democracy overseas.
To ask the hon. Member for South West Devon, representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission, what steps the Electoral Commission takes to promote British democracy overseas.
The Electoral Commission informs me that it runs public awareness campaigns and works with partners, including the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, to promote voter registration among British expatriate communities. Ahead of the European Parliamentary elections in 2014, the commission will run an online registration campaign focussing on countries with the highest numbers of British expatriates.
This will include advertising that is triggered in response to people using Google search terms that indicate an interest in UK elections, and advertising aimed at people who originally set up email accounts in the UK but are now accessing them overseas. Advertising will also be carried on specific websites that are commonly used by British citizens overseas, as well as expatriate radio stations.
In addition to its public awareness campaigns aimed at potential overseas electors for UK elections, the commission regularly hosts visiting overseas delegations and attends the European conference of Electoral Management Bodies in order to share best practice.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to raise public awareness of apprenticeships as an alternative to a university degree course and as an alternative route to establishing a career.[HL3518]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action they are taking to raise public awareness of apprenticeships as an alternative to a university degree course and as an alternative route to establishing a career.[HL3518]
Apprenticeships offer the ideal opportunity for ambitious young people to train while earning a wage. The National Apprenticeship Service works through a wide range of partners to promote Apprenticeships in schools.
Schools are now required to secure independent and impartial careers guidance on apprenticeships for pupils aged 11-18. The National Careers Service also provides advice on the benefits of Apprenticeships and how to apply for vacancies. We promote wider awareness of Apprenticeships through the annual Apprenticeship Week, the Skills Show and National Apprenticeship Awards. We have also made changes to Higher Apprenticeships, providing a clear work-based progression pathway into Higher Education and professional careers.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (1) what communication he has had with the London Borough of Tower Hamlets about adherence to the Code of Practice on Local Authority Publicity;
Ministers have corresponded on a number of occasions with councillors at Tower Hamlets, who are rightly concerned that the council continues to fail to comply with the code. Ministers recommended that the issue should be taken up with the local (district) auditor; however, it has become clear that such auditors are unwilling or unable to take action on clear breaches of the code and abuses of taxpayers’ money. Hence, we are legislating via the Local Audit and Accountability Bill.
When the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity was revised in March 2011 my officials wrote to all local authority chief executives drawing their attention to the code. My officials wrote to all local authority chief executives again in April 2013, enclosing a copy of the Government's consultation document on proposals to give the code greater force.
(2) how many local authorities he or Ministers in his Department have written to with regard to their observance of the Code of Practice on Local Authority Publicity.
Andy Sawford:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any further plans to roll out the pilot projects for (1) the “Go Home” advertisement vans piloted in London, and (2) the “Is life here hard? Going home is simple” advertisements piloted in UKBA public enquiry offices in Glasgow and Hounslow; and...

The Home Office will not be rolling out the ad vans further. The evaluation for Operation Vaken, of which the ad vans were one element, was published on 31 October 2013 and copies were placed in the library of both Houses. The separate pilot activity in reporting centres in Hounslow and Glasgow will not be repeated in its current form.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health on 7 November 2013, Official Report, column 476, on standardised tobacco packaging, which risk behaviours the dedicated youth marketing programme will be aimed at discouraging.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the contribution of the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health on 7 November 2013, Official Report, column 476, on standardised tobacco packaging, which risk behaviours the dedicated youth marketing programme will be aimed at discouraging.
Public Health England has adopted a holistic approach for its Youth Marketing Programme, moving from tackling single issues to taking a life-stage approach. The programme focuses on building young people’s resilience, and challenging specific risky behaviour which impacts on their development, health and well-being. Topics addressed include smoking, substance misuse, alcohol and sex and relationships.
In addition, the programme addresses issues such as bullying, exam pressure, self-harm and body confidence that has been shown to affect the physical and mental well-being of young people. Over time, it is likely that a broader range of health issues including diet and physical exercise will be covered by the programme.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much they spent on promoting the safe use of roads in 2012–13.[HL3088]
In 2012-13 the central Department for Transport spent £3,708,680 on THINK! road safety campaigns. The Vehicle & Operator Services Agency spent £111,649 supporting the safe use of
roads through their communications, providing advice to operators of heavy goods vehicles, public service vehicles, MOT testers and authorised examiners.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency, Driving Standards Agency, Highways Agency, Vehicle Certification Agency, Vehicle and Operator Services Agency all promote safe use of roads through their general operations which is not separately identified as communications expenditure.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how much his Department has spent publicising the move to universal credit in the regions where it is available.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how much his Department has spent publicising the move to universal credit in the regions where it is available.
We have not conducted any paid-for advertising in the local areas but have used other value for money ways to ensure potential universal credit claimants are informed and prepared. This includes free media, leaflets, and working with local partners to provide accurate information directly to potential claimants. Our approach is proportionate and carefully targeted, reflecting the safe and responsible way that universal credit is being progressively rolled-out.
