answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>Schools are legally responsible for providing independent careers guidance for all year 8-13 pupils on the full range of education and training options, including apprenticeships. The government’s careers strategy sets out how we will go further to make sure that young people can talk regularly to employers and training providers to inform the decisions that they make at important transition points. The strategy includes new legislation, introduced in January 2018, which requires all maintained schools and academies to make sure that there is an opportunity for a range of providers to talk to year 8-13 pupils about approved technical education qualifications or apprenticeships. Further information about the new law can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/skills-minister-highlights-new-provider-access-law-for-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/skills-minister-highlights-new-provider-access-law-for-schools</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We are transforming technical education to create a high quality system that meets the skills needs of businesses. 15 prestigious technical routes will set a clear path to skilled employment through apprenticeships and new flagship T level programmes. T levels will provide a distinctive and rigorous technical alternative to A levels. To ensure that young people understand T levels and the progression opportunities they will offer, we have been consulting students on their design and implementation. We will shortly be setting out more details on our plans for T levels.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 03/05/2018 16:42:53 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2018 answer text <p>The UK is an active supporter of the International Criminal Court (ICC) and engages regularly with the Court on a range of issues. A UK delegation was present when the Prosecutor presented her report on preliminary examinations activities at the ICC Assembly of States Parties in December 2017. The report summarised the work of the Chief Prosecutor's office into the Afghanistan situation, including the recent request for authorisation to proceed with an investigation. The Pre-Trial Chamber judges will assess the Prosecutor's evidence and victims' representations, in order to decide whether the Statute's criteria to authorise opening an investigation have been fulfilled. The UK respects the independence of the judges and trusts that they will reach their decision in a timely manner, but notes there are no specific time limits provided in the Rome Statute, the ICC's Rules of Procedure, or the ICC's Regulations for a decision to authorise an investigation.</p> answering member constituency Uxbridge and South Ruislip answering member printed Boris Johnson question first answered 03/05/2018 15:46:54 answering member 1423 label Biography information for Boris Johnson
