In 2015-16 more than 3,400 companies raised £1.9 billion through the scheme. The consultation also noted an ongoing issue of low-risk ‘capital preservation’ investments structured around the relief and asked an open question about how best to target the relief to ensure it helps innovative, high-growth firms receive the investment they need. The government will set out its response to the consultation in the Budget.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government launched a £1.75m communications campaign in January 2016, which aimed to raise awareness among employers and to encourage workers who are entitled to the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage – including interns - to check their pay. The campaign ran across radio, billboards, digital and print media and directed workers to a dedicated campaign website.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC works with a broad range of employers, agents and worker groups to support compliance and raise awareness of worker rights through a combination of webinars, targeted mail shots, face to face contact, digital contact and project work with sector specific bodies. As part of their Promote programme, HMRC has written to employers who advertise unpaid internships, reminding them of their obligations to comply with NMW legislation.</p><p> </p><p>Earlier this year, Matthew Taylor completed his independent review into the UK’s modern employment practices. The Government will give careful consideration to his recommendation to improve the interpretation of the law and to increase enforcement action relating to unpaid internships. We will respond in full later this year.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Since 1 October, the Department for Business Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy has not received any complaints from small businesses that would be in scope of the proposed Small Business Commissioner’s complaints handling service. The office of the Small Business Commissioner has received two enquiries on behalf of small businesses, neither of which would be in scope of the proposed complaints handling service. Secondary legislation relating to this complaints handling service is currently before this House, and would need to come into force before the complaints service could launch. Subject to the will of Parliament, when it is in force small businesses will be able to submit complaints for consideration, including complaints relating to the period from 6 April 2017.</p> more like this
