This represents formal recognition by the Government that her treatment fails to meet Iran’s obligations under international law and elevates it to a formal State to State issue. Diplomatic protection is rarely used. There were no other cases where the UK exercised diplomatic protection between 2010 and 2018.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 13/03/2019 17:38:53 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

We have supported degree apprenticeships for those from disadvantaged backgrounds through the Degree Apprenticeship Development Fund.</p><p>In 2017, we launched the second phase of the fund to expand degree apprenticeships and to widen access to the opportunities they offer. The fund also incorporated measures to expand provision in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) and improve gender diversity in STEM apprenticeships. It also supported a range of awareness-raising activities focusing on higher-level and degree apprenticeships, including 30 co-branded Universities and Colleges Admissions Service/National Apprenticeship Service careers fairs offering 240,000 Year 12 students access to information on high quality technical education options at all levels.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 13/03/2019 17:27:59 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
