My Lords, I will begin with the purpose of the order and briefly take the Committee through what we are considering.
The order updates the list of non-Crown organisations that produce official statistics, as defined in the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007. The Government and the UK Statistics Authority want...

My Lords, I suppose a lot of these questions stem from the 2007 Act and the establishment of the Statistics Board as a non-ministerial department that operates under the name of the UK Statistics Authority. The issue then was, and now is: what stats do we rely on? What has...

First, I thank all those who have taken part in this debate. I am delighted that it is a bit longer than the equivalent debate that my colleague, Minister Burghart, took in the Commons. He must have been very disappointed.
I thank in particular the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Brixton,...

If I might assist the noble Baroness, it was a general point on statistics: he who pays the piper calls the tune. I suppose all statistics produced by government departments are official statistics. The Civil Service does that job, but we have these additional bodies—quangos and other things.

Bodies such as the Equality and Human Rights Commission use extensive guidance on official statistics, which is available on the website and elsewhere. The Office for Statistics Regulation engages regularly with producer bodies. The impact of adding bodies to the list in the order is not huge, because various organisations...

My Lords, it is important for us to discuss this order. It may appear on the face of it to be simply a technical, procedural or managerial matter, but it does have a political import.

My Lords, it is appropriate for us to have a debate on this instrument. It is worth noting that the Commons dispensed with it in seven minutes. Perhaps the Front Bench is hoping for a similar record here but I will delay us for a little bit. Sorry, I am...

My Lords, can my noble friend the Minister comment on where, if not under these regulations, one can find out who decides the measures that will be included in official statistics by any of the authorised bodies?

My Lords, I congratulate the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Brixton, on the care and attention he has dedicated to this. I regret that I was not as thorough, although I did discover what JISC was, and one or two other things, as I looked at the list. I start...

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that colleges remain sufficiently protected from cyber-attack should any college choose to opt out of the forthcoming Jisc subscription.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that colleges remain sufficiently protected from cyber-attack should any college choose to opt out of the forthcoming Jisc subscription.
At present further education colleges benefit from the high quality of cyber-security offered through Jisc. Once subscriptions are introduced, we will continue to provide grant funding to cover the bulk of Jisc’s costs, including cyber-security. Any college who chooses to opt out from using Jisc services will need to ensure they have an appropriate level of cyber-security in place in order to safeguard their systems, staff and learners.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the potential risk to cyber security of further education colleges deciding to opt-out of paying for Jisc’s essential cyber security support services as a result of the decision to reduce Jisc’s funding and introduce subscription...

At present further education colleges benefit from the high quality of cyber-security offered through Jisc. Any college who chooses to opt out from using Jisc services will need to ensure they have an appropriate level of cyber-security in place in order to safeguard their systems, staff and learners. Provided they do so, there should be no additional risk.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what support his Department will provide to further education colleges that are unable to meet the cost of fees for Jisc’s essential IT infrastructure and technology support services as a result of the funding changes to Jisc.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what support his Department will provide to further education colleges that are unable to meet the cost of fees for Jisc’s essential IT infrastructure and technology support services as a result of the funding changes to Jisc.
We expect all colleges to continue to either access Jisc services, or to contract with an alternative provider who can provide a secure service. We have provided an additional £6 million to Jisc on top of their spending review settlement to enable the introduction of a mixed funding model to be delayed until August 2019 to enable colleges to prepare. The government will continue to contribute the majority of Jisc’s costs after the introduction of a mixed funding model. Introducing subscriptions will increase Jisc’s accountability to colleges as its customers, and will encourage colleges that subscribe to make use of the full range of services that Jisc provides.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the decision to reduce Jisc’s funding and introduce fees for further education colleges to pay for essential IT infrastructure and technology support services on the adequacy of provision of those services.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment his Department has made of the effect of the decision to reduce Jisc’s funding and introduce fees for further education colleges to pay for essential IT infrastructure and technology support services on the adequacy of provision of those services.
Our assessment is that introducing a mixed funding model including an element of subscription will increase Jisc’s accountability to colleges as its customers. Over time, we expect this relationship to drive greater efficiency in the service Jisc provides, and to encourage colleges that subscribe to make full use of the services available.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent discussions he has had with the Secretary of State for (a) Digital, Culture, Media and Sport and (b) the Home Department on the changes to funding of Jisc for cyber security at Further Education Colleges.

The department funds Jisc to provide information and communications technology infrastructure and related services to further education colleges in England through the Janet computer network. We will continue to cover most of these costs when the college subscriptions are introduced.
Jisc has developed its cyber-security capability over a number of years as an integral part of Janet. Any college using the network benefits from this capability. We have not discussed the revised funding arrangements with other departments.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent discussions he has had with stakeholders in the further education sector on the implications of charges being levied for essential IT services as a result of changes to funding to Jisc.

Officials have discussed the funding changes and the implications with both Jisc and the Association of Colleges.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department has made of the number of further education colleges that will be affected by the introduction of fees for Jisc's IT services as a result of changes to funding to that organisation.

All further education colleges in England currently have access to Jisc services. From August 2019, any college wishing to continue to use these services will need to subscribe. The Department for Education will continue to fund the majority of the costs associated with these services.
