answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2020 answer text <p>It is wrong to say that workers on zero-hour contracts, who are not working as a result of the covid-19 outbreak, are unable to qualify for Universal Credit because they are considered to have employment.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Universal Credit is payable in and out of work including for those working zero-hour contracts, part-time or temporary jobs.</p><p> </p><p>The amount of Universal Credit paid to claimants reflects, as closely as possible, the actual circumstances of a household during each monthly assessment period. Monthly assessment periods align to the way the majority of employees are paid and also allows Universal Credit to be adjusted each month. This means that if a claimant’s income falls, they will not have to wait several months for a rise in their Universal Credit.</p><p /><p>The Chancellor has also confirmed that, depending on their status, workers on zero hour contracts may be eligible for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and we would urge people to explore this avenue too.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 13/07/2020 16:09:54 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

uin	70985
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2020 answer text <p>The Government has a broad set of policies in place to support businesses and individuals during COVID-19. The Government has designed the next stage of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) by balancing the need to protect jobs against the need to restart the economy as the Covid-19 backdrop improves. The CJRS scheme must be temporary and the Government must ensure people can get back to work when it is safe to do so and get the UK economy up and running again.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has recently announced its Plan for Jobs. In it, in order to protect workers and encourage employers to minimise redundancies, the Government introduced a Jobs Retention Bonus. This will ensure that UK employers will receive a one-off bonus of £1,000 for each furloughed employee who is still employed as of 31 January 2021.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also announced unprecedented support to help unemployed people in Great Britain find a job. The Government is providing £1.2bn to significantly expand and enhance work search support, including doubling the number of work coaches, additional investment into the Flexible Support Fund to provide direct support at a local level, and using externally contracted provision to expand support even further.</p><p> </p><p>Recognising that young people are particularly at risk, the Government has also launched a new £2bn Kickstart Scheme, creating hundreds of thousands of new, fully subsidised jobs for young people across Great Britain, as well as a guaranteed foundation of support to all 18-24 year olds on Universal Credit in the Intensive Worksearch group, through its new youth offer.</p><p> </p><p>In England, the Government will also support people to build the skills they need to get into work, including by providing funding to triple the number of traineeships and sector-based work academy placements, new payments to employers to hire apprentices, and new funding to expand the National Career Service.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to what is outlined in the Plan for Jobs, those who struggle to find work for a longer period will also benefit from a new, large-scale employment support offer. Further details will be announced shortly.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 13/07/2020 10:33:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2020 answer text <p>On 17 March the Chancellor announced the availability of a three-month mortgage holiday as part of an unprecedented package of support for individuals, businesses and the economy affected by Covid-19. This help was further extended on 2 June through the publication of FCA guidance. This guidance applies to all firms that engage in mortgage activities to instruct them to offer support to customers that are experiencing financial difficulty due to COVID-19.</p><p>The Government has also taken action with the FCA to support mortgage prisoners by removing the regulatory barriers that previously prevented some from switching. Lenders are currently making the necessary adjustments and system changes to enable mortgage prisoners to switch and we expect them to start offering borrowers products using the new rules soon.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 15/06/2020 08:53:22 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2020 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary reiterated our opposition to the unilateral annexation of territory during a call with Alternate Israeli Prime Minister Gantz on 20 May and Israeli Foreign Minister Ashkenazi on 2 June. As we made clear at the UN Security Council remote meeting on the Middle East Peace Process on 20 May, we are concerned by reports that the new Israeli Government coalition has reached an agreement which may pave the way for annexation of parts of the West Bank. The UK position is clear: any unilateral moves toward annexation of parts of the West Bank by Israel would be damaging to renewed efforts to restart peace negotiations, and contrary to international law.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 11/06/2020 14:42:01 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly
