Employers of all sizes are fully engaged in Trailblazers, designing new apprenticeship standards to meet their skill needs. Over 1000 employers, in over 75 sectors, are already involved in Trailblazers. 73 new apprenticeship standards have been approved and a further 100 are in development. The first 300 apprentices training to the new standards started in September 2014.<\/p>
The funding model currently being trialled with Trailblazer apprenticeships provides £2 of Government support for every £1 spent by employers on training. Extra payments are also available for smaller businesses; taking on a 16 \u2013 18 year old; and on completion of an apprenticeship.<\/p>
Giving employers\u2019 control of apprenticeship funding is a core and non-negotiable part of our reforms. Following feedback to the Technical Consultation, further work is being done before a final decision is made on which funding mechanism will be taken forward.<\/p>

We expect the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) to be a mixed agreement. In this case, subject to an EU Council Decision, it would be possible for the EU to apply the parts of TTIP within EU competence provisionally, pending ratification by Member States. If, however, a Member State ultimately refused to ratify and comply with the agreement, negotiations would have to be reopened.<\/p>

A Regulatory Impact Assessment relating to the provision of Local Land Charges has been produced by Land Registry. The Impact Assessment is a living document and continues to be revised in the light of greater stakeholder engagement. This takes into account the potential benefits of a fully digitised service to mitigate the effects of degrading paper and other records, with improved turnaround times, greater efficiencies and a lower fee for the customer. The Impact Assessment states that creating a single, digital Local Land Charges register would enable small and micro businesses to streamline their access arrangements.<\/p>"}
