answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2021 answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions collects data on the uptake of the Kickstart Scheme. We have published information on the number of young people who have started in each region, here: <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-04-12/179100" target="_blank">https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-04-12/179100</a>, but we are unable to break this down below the regional level at present.</p><p> </p><p>The need to deliver and operate the Kickstart Scheme at pace has led to a current limited clerical data set which, in turn, makes it harder to accurately present a snapshot of a smaller geographical area, such as a Parliamentary constituency. Information is contained across multiple systems as more than one Jobcentre could cover a single constituency. Conversely, Kickstart placements and vacancies are not allocated to one JCP, so we have many vacancies which may be connected to a company based or headquartered in one area, but the vacancies can be filled from a wider geographical area.</p><p> </p><p>As such, it is not currently possible to provide the data below the regional level. We are, however, continuing to develop our management information tools and data collection system which may help in sharing more localised information at a local authority level in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is monitoring and evaluating the Kickstart Scheme throughout its implementation, and will continue to evaluate the longer term outcomes and impact for Kickstart participants.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 28/04/2021 16:54:37 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>UK licence holders are required to present a valid UK driving licence to exchange it for a Danish licence. So, if the UK licence has been lost, stolen or expired it cannot be exchanged and the UK licence holder will need to apply for a Danish licence and may have to take a test. A certificate of entitlement will not be recognised by Denmark in these circumstances.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 27/04/2021 12:05:24 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

This does not include travel overseas to visit a childcare bubble or travel overseas to provide childcare. However, there are express reasonable excuses such as for access or contact arrangements between parents and children that live in different countries, or where it is reasonably necessary to provide care to a child with an underlying health condition.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 28/04/2021 13:13:00 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2021 answer text <p>The UK is committed to rapid equitable access to safe and effective vaccines. We are among the largest bilateral contributors to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC), committing £548 million in 2020. Our contribution included a match-funding pledge that helped encourage $1 billion of commitments from other donors. The UK's support and contribution to COVAX has helped it reach the milestone of supplying vaccines to over 100 countries and economies.</p><p>We recognise the need to improve global coverage, and address new variants to end the acute phase of the pandemic. This is why on Thursday 15 April, I spoke at the AMC Investment Opportunity Launch, supporting the COVAX Advance Market Commitment 2021 investment case to secure a further $2 billion from donors. This aims to procure 500 million more doses to increase vaccine coverage from 20% to 30% in developing countries in 2021. The UK is championing global access through our Presidency of the G7, and we have committed to share the majority of our surplus vaccine doses with COVAX.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 26/04/2021 16:49:42 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
