answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>We are committed to ensuring that apprenticeships are as accessible as possible to all people from all backgrounds. We are making available over £60million to support the undertaking of apprenticeships by individuals from disadvantaged areas. This funding is at least equivalent to that currently in the system and is expected to maintain levels of starts in these areas.</p><p>To support employers to offer more apprenticeships, under the apprenticeship funding policy published in October, we announced that Government will pay providers an additional payment for training an apprentice who lives in areas amongst the 27% most deprived: £600 for the 1-10% most deprived, £300 for the next 11-20%, and £200 for the next 21-27%. These payments will be in place for one year whilst we review the system for supporting people from disadvantaged backgrounds.</p><p>Under the new funding policy, there will be extra payments for 16-18 year olds and 19-24 year olds formerly in care or with an Education, Health and Care Plan. Employers and providers will receive a payment of £1,000 to support additional costs associated with these apprentices.</p><p>We are increasing numbers of traineeships to further support young people, including those from areas of disadvantage, into apprenticeships and further work. In addition, on 25 October we published an equality analysis on the funding changes, which is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/562409/Equality_analysis_apprenticeship_funding_from_May_2017.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/562409/Equality_analysis_apprenticeship_funding_from_May_2017.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency Harlow answering member printed Robert Halfon question first answered 17/11/2016 15:09:38 answering member 3985 label Biography information for Robert Halfon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The UK is currently providing support to multiple operations across the Mediterranean.</p><p>Some of these have an explicit focus on search and rescue: Border Force and Royal Navy assets are supporting Operations POSEIDON and TRITON in the Aegean and central Mediterranean respectively.</p><p>Migrants have also been rescued this year as part of Operation SOPHIA – the EU’s military response to counter migrant smuggling from Libya. Although SOPHIA does not have a search and rescue mandate, under the UNCLOS, vessels respond to those in distress at sea. UK vessels have rescued over 25,000 migrants since January 2015, 9,000 of those within this calendar year.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 17/11/2016 17:44:54 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The information is not centrally held in the form requested. Over the last year Government has acted to level the playing field for UK steel producers in light of the complex global challenges faced by the UK steel sector. Last December Government issued guidance to central government departments on how to ensure that they take full account of the value provided by UK steel producers when conducting their procurement activities. This guidance is also being extended to the wider public sector.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 17/11/2016 17:06:05 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
