star this property answer text <p>Employees on variable pay who have been on Statutory Maternity Pay or other forms of Parental Leave are eligible to apply for furlough pay under the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Eligible employees will be entitled to 80% of the higher rate of two calculations: either the wages earned in the corresponding calendar period in the tax year 2019 to 2020, or the average wages payable in the tax year 2019 to 2020. These measures have been put in place to cover a wide range of contractual and working arrangements and are designed to mitigate situations where individuals have low pay in a certain month for any reason.</p> more like this

For example, legislating may increase the cost of finance for low-income countries or reduce the availability of finance to meet wider development goals.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is instead prioritising the implementation of the Common Framework for Debt Treatments beyond the DSSI. The UK, along with the G20 and Paris Club, agreed the Common Framework to deliver a long-term, sustainable approach to dealing with debt vulnerabilities. Private sector participation on at least as favourable terms as bilateral creditors is a fundamental principle of the Common Framework. We are fully focused on ensuring that the private sector plays its part in any debt treatments under the Framework.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>It is Home Office policy to move people into suitable Dispersed Accommodation (DA) once their claim for support has been assessed</p><p>The current global pandemic has presented significant challenges in relation to the provision of asylum accommodation. To mitigate these challenges, we have had to source sufficient accommodation to meet demand, including hotels.</p><p>Hotels are utilised as contingency accommodation on a temporary basis, whilst pressures in the system are addressed and hotel use will be discontinued as soon as the Home Office is able to do so.There are currently 5,168 asylum seekers accommodated in Glasgow, of which a peak of 405 were in hotels at one point, but this has now been reduced to 237 and we are aiming to get to zero as soon as practicable.</p><p>Availability of DA is crucial to plans and timelines for reductions in hotel use. A comprehensive plan for the cessation of asylum support for ineligible cases has been established with input from Local Authorities, Other Government Departments and Stakeholders to assist in this regard.</p><p>180 Local Authorities out of 414 across the United Kingdom currently allow asylum seekers to be dispersed in their area. In Scotland, only Glasgow City Council has agreed to allow the dispersal of asylum seekers within their Local Authority area. We would encourage Local Authorities across the United Kingdom, including Scotland to participate so that we can reduce the number of people accommodated in hotels and create an equitable system of asylum dispersal.</p><p>We will continue to work with Local Authorities across the UK to increase the number of DA properties available to our accommodation service providers. In Glasgow we attend fortnight partnership boards with Glasgow City Council and Scottish Goverment to discuss DA procurement and hotel reduction.</p>
