uin	40284
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2016 answer text <p>The Department does not produce forecasts for apprenticeship starts. Apprenticeships are paid jobs and their availability is dependent on employers offering opportunities and hiring apprentices.</p><p>The levy will fund a step-change in apprenticeship numbers and quality – delivering on our commitment to 3 million new apprenticeship starts in England by 2020. It will put apprenticeship funding on a sustainable footing and improve the technical and professional skills of the workforce.</p><p>It will encourage employers to invest in their apprentices and take on more. Employers in England who pay the levy and are committed to apprenticeships training will be able to get out more than they pay in to the levy through a top-up of additional funding to their digital accounts. The government will apply a 10% top-up to monthly funds entering levy paying employers digital accounts, for apprenticeship training in England, from April 2017. Apprentices who have been accepted on to an apprenticeship before April 2017 will be funded for the full term of the apprenticeship under the terms and conditions that were in place at the time their apprenticeship started.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 20/06/2016 14:07:29 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles

uin	40400
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2016 answer text <p>If the Government were to use total household income as the criteria for the High Income Child Benefit Charge on households, this would require collecting information of the incomes of everyone in each of the eight million households receiving Child Benefit. This would effectively introduce a new means test. The Government’s approach withdraws Child Benefit from those on high incomes, whilst having no impact on the majority of claimants.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/06/2016 12:48:14 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

uin	40326
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2016 answer text The Treasury continuously monitors global economic developments, including in China, and their impact on the UK as part of the normal process of policy development. As one of the most open trading economies in the world with a large financial sector, we have to recognise that the UK is not immune to the continued problems being experienced in the world economy. Nonetheless, the Bank of England’s 2015 stress tests modelled a severe slowdown in commodities and emerging markets. No banks were required to submit revised capital plans following the stress tests. These results indicate that the UK banking system would have the capacity to continue to lend to the real economy, even under such a severe adverse scenario. answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/06/2016 12:30:00 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
