answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>Evidence is assessed in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors in arriving at a decision whether to prosecute a case. A prosecutor will look at whether the evidence is admissible in court, its importance in relation to the evidence as a whole, its reliability, accuracy, integrity and credibility. It is the duty of prosecutors to make sure that the right person is prosecuted for the right offence and to bring offenders to justice wherever possible. In doing so a prosecutor must be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and that a prosecution is in the public interest.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 10/12/2015 12:17:31 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

We are working with the Industry Training Boards to understand how their existing arrangements will be affected. They will be consulting with their members in advance of the introduction of the apprenticeships levy on whether they should continue to pay the industry levy and if so, how it should be combined with the national apprenticeship levy. We are also working with other sectors, where there are existing collective training arrangements about what the apprenticeships levy means to them.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Nick Boles question first answered 09/12/2015 10:04:08 answering member 3995 label Biography information for Nick Boles

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government recognises that new businesses can encounter difficulties in obtaining the finance they need to start-up or grow. However I am encouraged that net lending to smaller businesses has been recovering strongly since the end of 2014. The Bank of England has reported that credit conditions for SMEs seeking finance are improving and the SME Finance Monitor shows that 80% of SME loan and overdraft applications were successful in the 18 months to 2015 Q3, up from 68% in Q4 2013.</p><p>Latest figures show that net SME lending from banks participating in the Funding for Lending Scheme grew by £675m in the third quarter and the Bank of England recently announced that allowances earned by banks for increasing their net lending under the scheme will be available to draw down for a further two years. The government also continues to fund start-up loans, with more than 33,000 loans worth over £180 million issued so far and a target to deliver 75,000 loans by the end of the parliament.</p><p>I am also encouraged by our growing alternative finance sector, with the UK the leading fin tech centre of Europe.</p><p>A recent report from the Legatum Institute rated the UK as the best country in the EU in which to start a business and the government will continue to back our small businesses to start and grow.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 10/12/2015 17:31:04 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
