We will introduce an apprenticeship levy to increase employer investment in apprenticeships. We are increasing the quality of apprenticeships through more rigorous assessment and grading at the end of the apprenticeship. The Enterprise Bill will protect the term ‘apprenticeship’ in law to prevent misuse. From next April, employers of apprentices under the age of 25 will no longer be required to pay National Insurance contributions for those employees.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 04/11/2015 17:10:08 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

This paper, which closes on 8 June 2016, sets out a new delivery model for public financial guidance and seeks views on how, within this model, the proposed services could best be offered. The new delivery model is designed to better complement the financial guidance provided by the third sector and the industry and provide more targeted support for consumers.</p><p> </p><p>The government will consider the responses to this consultation over the summer, and in parallel, work closely with the affected organisations to finalise the delivery structure. A detailed timetable will be set out with the final response, which will be published in the autumn. The government has been clear that the three affected organisations will continue to provide guidance to consumers until at least 2018.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin grouped question UIN 32331 32333 32334 question first answered 11/04/2016 14:22:45 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
