uin	HL13923
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2019 answer text <p>The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has commissioned advice on a victims’ pension from the Commissioner for Victims and Survivors for Northern Ireland. The scope of that advice includes “a proposal for, or options for, the type of pension which should be provided including consideration of a two-phased approach to delivery with a physical injury pension being rolled out first followed by psychological (and any risks of this approach)”. As the Secretary of State has indicated, the UK Government’s priority in Northern Ireland continues to be the restoration of the NI Executive. If, despite best efforts, the NI Executive has not been restored by the time updated advice on a pension has been provided by the Victims Commissioner, the Northern Ireland Office will consider this.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 05/03/2019 13:56:47 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank

uin	223260
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>I can confirm there is currently one apprentice employed in the Department which accounts for 2% of the London staff. Although slightly under the public sector target of 2.3%, this is due to two apprentices completing their apprenticeships during 2018. A further three apprentices have recently been recruited, which will bring the proportion of apprentices in the department to 6%.</p> answering member constituency Weston-super-Mare answering member printed John Penrose question first answered 25/02/2019 11:10:43 answering member 1584 label Biography information for John Penrose
