To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answers of 12 March 2015 to Questions 226857 and 226812, which 33 stations were nominated for Access to All funding; and which 25 stations were selected for that funding.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answers of 12 March 2015 to Questions 226857 and 226812, which 33 stations were nominated for Access to All funding; and which 25 stations were selected for that funding.
The Scottish stations nominated successfully were Barrhead, Blairhill, Cupar, Dalmuir, Dunblane, Dyce, Easterhouse, Elgin, Gleneagles, Hamilton Central, Hyndland, Kilmarnock, Kilwinning, Kircaldy, Linlithgow, Milliken Park, Montrose, Motherwell, Mount Florida, Newton, Perth, Rosyth, Rutherglen, Shotts and Westerton. Stirling was also successfully nominated but had to be withdrawn after a solution acceptable to local planners could not be found.
The unsuccessful nominations were Aviemore, Burntisland, Cathcart, Coatdyke, Dumbarton East, Greenock West and Springburn.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department objected to Access for All funding being allocated to any of the Scottish Government's proposed recipient stations between 2006 and 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department objected to Access for All funding being allocated to any of the Scottish Government's proposed recipient stations between 2006 and 2014.
Since 2006, 33 Scottish stations have been nominated for Access for All funding, of which 25 were selected. The Department for Transport did not object to any of the stations on the list.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which railway stations his Department discussed with the Scottish Government during the process of approving Access for All funding from 2006 to 2014.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which railway stations his Department discussed with the Scottish Government during the process of approving Access for All funding from 2006 to 2014.
Since 2006, a large number of Scottish stations have been discussed with the Department in the context of Access for All. This led to 33 stations being put forward by Scottish Ministers for Access for All funding, of which 25 were included in the programme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance his Department provides to relevant healthcare professionals on the diagnosis of tongue-tie in infants.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what guidance his Department provides to relevant healthcare professionals on the diagnosis of tongue-tie in infants.
The Department does not set the content and standard of training for healthcare professionals. The issuing of clinical guidance is the responsibility of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
To assist the NHS, NICE considered the division of tongue tie in depth in July 2004. Current NICE guidelines recommend when considering division of tongue-tie, healthcare professionals should be sure that the parents or carers understand what is involved and consent to the treatment, and the results of the procedure are monitored. In line with NICE guidelines, NHS England expects healthcare professionals to discuss the benefits and risks with the parents or carers of any child.
Ultimately it is for the NHS locally to ensure appropriate services are available for the diagnosis and treatment of tongue-tie. Some babies with tongue-tie can still feed properly and do not need any treatment. If the condition is causing problems with feeding, health professionals should discuss the options with parents and agree the most appropriate form of treatment. For some babies, extra help and support with breastfeeding is all that is needed. If this does not help, the tongue-tie needs to be divided by a registered practitioner.
Health visitors complete a breastfeeding assessment at the new birth visit and if tongue tie is suspected they will refer for assessment through a locally agreed pathway; this is often a paediatrician referral, or some areas have a midwifery led service.
The table below provides counts of finished admission episodes where there was a primary or secondary diagnosis of ankyloglossia ("tongue-tie") for 2011-12 to 2013-14 broken down by patient age.
Common definitions of the word newborn can include babies up until 28 days of age. For clarity the table breaks down our response into the following categories, under 1 day, 1 - 6 days, 7 - 28 days, 1 - 3 months. The table excludes patients older than three months.
It should be noted that this is not a count of people as the same person may have had more than one admission episode within the same time period.

Someone once said:
“We have got to stop thinking of broadband and other connectivity issues as being some sort of luxury. It is as important to the future sustainability of our communities as having a supply of water or electricity.”
Does the Secretary of State still agree with his own words? If so, can he tell communities in Ochil and South Perthshire and elsewhere in Scotland why, when we have running water and electricity, we still do not have superfast broadband?

I absolutely stand by my own words. I recognised them as soon as the hon. Gentleman started to quote them. It is a view that I still hold and it is why this Government have made a substantial investment.
If he has particular cases relating to delivery, which unfortunately we have given to the Scottish Government, I am more than happy to help him in any way I can.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will review the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme to ensure that it is responsive to need.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will review the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation scheme to ensure that it is responsive to need.
The Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme is designed to complement our humanitarian aid efforts and is based on need rather than fulfilling a quota. The scheme is designed to help particularly vulnerable Syrian refugees
displaced by the Syrian crisis who cannot be supported effectively in the region, particularly survivors of torture and violence, women and children at risk and those in need of medical care. We are working closely with the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to identify the most vulnerable people displaced by the conflict and UNHCR are best placed to ensure that the corresponding referrals are responsive to need.
Of the 90 people granted Humanitarian Protection under the VPR scheme up to the end of September 2014, 23 are Principal Applicants and 67 are dependant family members.
Statistics on arrivals are published through our official statistics at quarterly intervals and no further details on the number of arrivals will be available until the next publication on 26 February, which will include numbers
to the year ending December 2014. These will be available from: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release

Gordon Banks (Ochil and South Perthshire) (Lab):
Opposition Members have called for a section 30 order to fast-track elements of the Smith commission to Scotland, especially votes for 16 and 17-year-olds in the 2016 Scottish Parliament election. I know that the Deputy Prime Minister’s boss does not usually allow him to make the big decisions, but as he is in the big seat today, will he commit himself to going ahead with the section 30 order now?

We will stick to the timetable to which all the main parties in Westminster committed themselves at the time of the referendum.
We have stuck to that timetable religiously so far. In fact, despite predictions to the contrary by the Scottish National party, we have over-delivered on the commitments regarding further devolution to Scotland.
As the hon. Gentleman knows, a lively debate is taking place about the franchise for 16 and 17-year-olds. My party has always believed that we should give them the right to vote. They took up that right with alacrity at the time of the Scottish referendum, but the issue will clearly continue to be debated across parties in the House.
