uin	203807
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2014 answer text There are no formal targets in place for increasing the number of women who participate in the New Enterprise Allowance scheme. Latest statistics show that since the launch of NEA in 2011 to the end of March 2014, there were 46,000 allowance claims, of which 15,720 were from women. The weekly allowance is payable when the participant closes their claim to benefits and commences trading. The rate of take up of NEA by women is approximately one third of the total. This is consistent with the proportion of women claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (the benefit claimed by the majority of NEA participants), demonstrating the success of the scheme in attracting all groups to access this support. answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 09/07/2014 15:14:52 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

tabling member constituency	Romford

uin	206986
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/09/2014 answer text The tragic loss of life on Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 has brought into sharp focus the consequences of Russia’s destabilisation of eastern Ukraine. EU sanctions are in direct response to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea, with the option of increasingly severe restrictive measures if Russia does not desist from its policies to destabilise Ukraine and support separatists in the east. By imposing sanctions, we have demonstrated our willingness to use economic levers to influence Russia’s behaviour. We have no wish to isolate Russia, nor to see the Russian people suffer as a result of the unlawful actions of their leaders. The international community cannot stand by, however, and ignore attacks upon Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 01/09/2014 13:12:32 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
