	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2023 answer text <p>​​The department launched the Employer Incentive Fund in May 2021, which ran until July 2022, as a short-term response to the impact COVID-19 had on businesses. Providers were allocated an amount of money based on their student enrolment figures to pay employers £1,000 for each industry placement student that they took on. In excess of 1,600 employers were supported to offer placements during the scheme. The new Employer Support Fund was launched in April 2023, for which we have made up to £12 million available to support legitimate costs employers may incur when offering placement opportunities. This support fund is only valid for placements which begin between 1 April 2023 and 31 March 2024. ​</p> answering member constituency Harlow answering member printed Robert Halfon question first answered 16/10/2023 11:43:39 answering member 3985 label Biography information for Robert Halfon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2023 answer text <p>While some countries designate marine parks, domestically, we have created a series of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to protect our marine biodiversity. This is an extensive network of 178 sites covering 40% of English waters. Our MPA network represents the range of species and habitats found in our seas.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to support local initiatives such as the proposed Marine Park in waters around Plymouth, and will consider the contribution of such projects to our environmental goals such as 30by30.</p><p> </p><p>To complement the MPA network, the first three Highly Protected Marine Areas (HPMAs) in English waters were designated on 14 June 2023 and will come into force on 5 July 2023. HPMAs will provide the highest levels of protection in our seas, allowing nature to fully recover to a more natural state and helping the ecosystem to thrive.</p><p> </p><p>Internationally, we are also leading global efforts to protect the ocean.
