CANparent vouchers were available to parents of children ages 0-5 in the three trial areas of Camden, Middlesbrough and High Peak.
The latest data, at 8 April 2014, held by the contractor managing the CANparent trial, show that parenting class providers have confirmed a total of 2,234 women and 211 men have attended CANparent classes since the start of the trial (full data is collected on class attendance by females and males, but not according to their relationship to children in the family). These totals are broken down by provider in the following table:

The data on parenting class providers continuing to provide free or paid-for classes is not collected centrally.
Market development work following on from the initial two-year trial, led by Family Lives, was transferred to the Department of Health from the Department for Education (DFE) on 1 April 2014 and is due to run until 31 March 2015. The budget for that work stands at £1,140,758.
The trial will now run for one more year until March 2015. The budget for the one year extension of the CANParent trial stands at £1,286,000 for the 2014-15 financial year. No further funds have been committed to the project.
According to DFE officials, from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013, the total amount spent on the CANParent trial was £1,248,640. From 1 April 2013 to the end of March 2014, the total was £2,228,806.
The new phase of the CANparent trial is an opportunity to build on the successes of the first trial but with an increased emphasis on supporting and encouraging providers to think about the long-term sustainability of CANParent and how they will be delivering classes once the trial comes to an end. CANparent aims to create a cultural shift so it becomes the norm to seek advice and support on raising children, just as it is the norm to attend antenatal classes, so that children get the best start in life. During 2014-15, a programme of business support will be offered to parenting class providers.
The DFE will publish the final evaluation of the initial two-year trial shortly. The publication of the final evaluation of the one-year extension will follow the completion of the trial in March 2015.

We do not know whether or not these subscribers are first-time parents, as this information is not requested/captured as part of the sign-up process.
There have been 4,508,350 viewings of the videos since the launch of ISP (2,420,563 on NHS Choices and 2,087,787 on YouTube). It is not possible to break this figure down in to the number of people as requested, just the total number of times a video was started either on NHS Choices or YouTube.
The Department transferred £300,000 to Public Health England (PHE) for the financial year 2013-14.
The Department will transfer some funding to PHE in 2014-15 to support the work of the NHS Start4Life Information Service for Parents (S4LISP). Budget allocations are still to be confirmed but this sum is likely to be circa £1.5 million. PHE's total budget for the S4LISP will need to cover automated sign-up, content review and commissioning new content.

Following a Court judgment in 1985, health care professionals are able to supply all forms of contraception, including emergency contraception, to young people under the age of 16 without their parents’ knowledge or consent if they are satisfied that the young person fully understands the treatment and its risks and benefits. However, health care professionals must always try to persuade the young person to involve their parents.

Information on the legal representation of parties in family courts is available at a national level in table 2.4 of Court Statistics Quarterly the latest edition of which is available at this link:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/court-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2013
However, you should note that this information relates to whether parties have a recorded representative, rather than whether they are litigants in person. It is also based on the number of disposals, rather than parents, and cases may of course involve multiple disposals.
Parties with no legal representation are not a new phenomenon in our courts. Judges are used to helping persons with no legal representation, including explaining procedures and what is expected of them. We have also taken steps to help people who either want or have to represent themselves in court, including publishing a revised guide for separating parents and increased training for judges. The link to the guide is:

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities if she will publish guidance and make available resources for parents to enable them to help their children make well-informed career and subject choices.
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities if she will publish guidance and make available resources for parents to enable them to help their children make well-informed career and subject choices.
In November 2013, we published the Government’s Women and the Economy Action plan. We announced that the Government Equalities Office (GEO) is developing a toolkit for parents to enable them to support their daughters make well-informed career and subject choices. It is working with the PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) Association and consulting with a range of schools, teenage girls and their parents to develop an online resource that will be piloted later this year. We know that parents are the most important influences of children’s career choices, and the aim of this toolkit will be to offer information, advice and links to further resources to support parents in this vital role.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps his Department is taking to address financial inequalities faced by parents with shared custody of their child where state benefits are paid to only one parent.

Child benefit and tax credits provide financial support for families bringing up children. In the instance where parents are separated claimants may also qualify for the ‘lone parent’ element of tax credits.
Payments are made to the person primarily responsible for the child. Where parents are separated child benefit and tax credit rules allow for parents to decide between themselves which of them, shall be entitled to receive the payments. Where parents are unable to make a decision HMRC commissioners can make a discretionary decision.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (1) what consultation his Department has had with groups representing separated parents on steps to ensure universal credit makes shared parenting a financially viable option for parents who do not have family-based financial arrangements in place;
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (1) what consultation his Department has had with groups representing separated parents on steps to ensure universal credit makes shared parenting a financially viable option for parents who do not have family-based financial arrangements in place;
Currently the child element will be awarded to the parent with whom the child or qualifying young person normally lives. Where separated parents both share the care of a child or qualifying young person they are expected to jointly nominate which of them has the main responsibility.
Where parents are unable to come to an agreement themselves, a determination will be made. This will take account of where the child normally lives and who has the main day to day responsibility.
The proposed approach to universal credit was set out in a White Paper "Universal Credit: Welfare that Works" and in draft regulations upon which a wide range of organisations responded to in the consultation exercise carried out by the Social Security Advisory Committee.

Given that this is obviously an incredibly important matter, akin to cloning, with a child having several parents—I know of no other country in the world that has done this—does my hon. Friend think it should be the subject of a full debate on the Floor of the House?

I certainly think that this matter ought to come to the Floor of the House. I understand from an earlier debate that the Government are committed to full parliamentary scrutiny, but no doubt the Minister will confirm that.

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this critical subject. Techniques for mitochondrial transfer deliberately create a child who has three genetic ancestors, or, in the case PNT, four. Is that not extremely concerning, raising as it does serious issues of personal identity for those born through the technique, particularly...

On that point, the worry that occurs immediately to me as I listen to my hon. Friend is that if someone does not know who the third or fourth person who created them is, through sheer chance they may well find themselves marrying their brother or sister.

That is a risk, and there are others. Already in the United States a different price is charged depending on the educational qualifications of the donor. There are worries about eugenics, a point I was going to come on to.
