	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2018 answer text The government published the Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures in May. This set out measures to strengthen protections around gaming machines, including cutting the maximum stake on B2 machines from £100 to £2, and on online gambling and gambling advertising. It also set out action on treatment and support for those who experience harm, including initiatives to improve the evidence on treatment needs and effectiveness, expand access to existing services and strengthen the voluntary system for funding support. We take gambling-related harm very seriously and will work closely across Government and with the Gambling Commission to build on the actions outlined in the Review. answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies grouped question UIN 908185 908188 question first answered 13/12/2018 17:40:12 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2018 answer text <p>As apprenticeships and skills are devolved matters, statistics provided are for England only. Women have accounted for over half of apprenticeship starts in recent years (53.4 per cent in 2016/17, 52.8 per cent in 2015/16, 53.0 per cent in 2014/15).</p><p> </p><p>The number of starts in STEM apprenticeships (both male and female) has grown from 95,000 in 2012/13 to 112,000 in 2016/17, when they accounted for 22.6% of all starts. The proportion of STEM apprenticeship starts by female learners was 7.7% in 2014/15, 8.3% in 2015/16 and 8.2% in 2016/17.</p><p> </p><p>We are taking action to address gender disparities in the take up of STEM-related apprenticeships through a range of activities. These include taking part in the Year of Engineering 2018 and use of the Education and Skills Funding Agency’s (ESFA) Apprenticeship Diversity Champions Network (ADCN). We have also made it easier for part-time workers to undertake apprenticeships, such as those with caring responsibilities and lone parents.</p><p> </p><p>Since being established last year, the ADCN has advocated activity around championing women in STEM apprenticeships to address this issue, including developing best practice to share across employers.</p><p> </p><p>We are also taking action in regard to employers and career advice. Working with employers, we are taking action to help inform the decisions girls make about their future education and career choices. We are undertaking work to assess the breadth and effectiveness of current careers provision in schools and colleges on STEM, and evaluating approaches to careers provision to encourage girls to consider jobs in STEM industries. Finally, we are involved with wider government work such as Department for Business, Energy &amp; Industrial Strategy’s STEM Ambassador programme.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 26/04/2018 16:51:46 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
