It will be for the Welsh Government to make an assessment of which projects should be pursued in areas of its competence, and this guarantee will apply to any such projects. The agricultural sector in Wales will receive the same level of funding that it would have received under Pillar 1 of CAP until the end of the Multi-Annual Financial Framework in 2020.</p><p> </p><p>As a result of these steps taken by the UK Government, individuals and organisations in receipt of EU funds now have a greater degree of certainty about funding over the coming years. The UK Government will work with the Welsh Government to consider future funding arrangements for once the UK has left the EU.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke grouped question UIN 46768 46769 46770 46771 question first answered 17/10/2016 10:54:46 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2017 answer text <p>The Minimum Income Floor is designed to encourage and incentivise self-employed Universal Credit claimants to increase their level of earnings and work their way out of welfare dependency. In order to give individuals a fair and proportionate amount of time to grow their business, the government has introduced a start-up period of up to twelve months (for those eligible) where the Minimum Income Floor will not be applied. Once an individual is deemed to be self-employed for the purposes of Universal Credit, they will not be expected to undertake ‘work search’ requirements so that they can concentrate on making a success of their business and increasing their earnings to lift them out of welfare dependency.</p><p> </p><p>The government has no current plans to reform the Minimum Income Floor or to extend the start-up period for self-employed claimants in Universal Credit.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke grouped question UIN 67497 question first answered 21/03/2017 12:12:15 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
