	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>The French, German and US schemes referred to in the Cost Benchmark Report do not deliver the NCS programme. These schemes are used to compare the cost of the NCS programme with other international youth programmes. The report finds that overall programme costs of NCS are significantly lower than those of these international comparators, although meaningful comparison is difficult as NCS is delivered in an intensive, 3-4 week programme, and these international schemes are delivered over an extended period, varying between 3-18 months and with varying levels of time commitment. These schemes also include direct and indirect payments to participants.</p><p> </p><p>DCMS and the NCS Trust are committed to further improving the value for money and reducing the unit cost of the NCS programme. A key opportunity to achieve this is the recommissioning of the NCS provider contracts from 2019 onwards.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 06/09/2018 11:04:31 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

For the most vulnerable, however, nuisance calls can cause extreme anxiety and distress. We have been clear that there is no place for such calls in society.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>To help reduce this problem, we legislated in the Financial Guidance and Claims Act 2018 to further restrict marketing calls from claims management services and pensions providers. We have also recently concluded a consultation on taking tougher action against directors whose companies are responsible for breaches of legislation in relation to nuisance calls and electronic messages. We are currently analysing the consultation responses and will publish a government response in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James grouped question UIN 169909 question first answered 06/09/2018 11:02:23 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
