UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) is working with Foreign Office, BIS, the Export Control Organisation, HMRC and HMT to provide coordinated communications to UK industry on sanctions. Activities include 1:1 meetings with major UK companies; group briefings held at the Foreign Office; clear sanctions guidance and FAQs on GOV.UK.<\/p>

<\/p>

All countries of the UK contributed to the funding of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The initial £410m National Lottery contribution, outlined in the Games bid, was supplemented with a further £675m borrowed as part of the increased Olympic budget. The total transfer from the National Lottery Distribution Fund was £1,085m.<\/p>

An estimated £114m (taken from across both the £410m and £675m amounts) was the share given by Lottery programmes in Scotland.

Apprenticeships are the best form of further education, and we will fund as many as we can.

Nearly 3 million low-paid people will directly benefit from the National Living Wage from April next year. A full-time worker on the current National Minimum Wage will be made £1,200 better off, per year, as a result. Our long-term economic plan is working and we will ensure that the hard work of the British people is recognised through our new National Living Wage.<\/ins><\/p>

I attach a list of each of the prisons from which prisoners have been released on temporary licence (ROTL) in the last 5 years.<\/p>

Eligibility for ROTL primarily depends upon the assessment of the prisoner in question rather than the classification of the establishment in which they are currently detained. So, whilst a Category A prisoner cannot have ROTL and Category B prisoners can take it only in exceptional circumstances, lower category prisoners who are eligible to be considered for ROTL are held in category B and in some category A prisons. The key test is whether the prisoner in question is eligible to be considered, has a legitimate purpose for temporary releases linked to the sentence plan, and passes the rigorous risk assessment required.<\/p>

Since 2013 when the process was revised there has been a 39% drop in the number of temporary release failures. This is the lowest failure rate since 2002, and the absconding rate has reached record lows under this and the Coalition government.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/417756/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "9482 - table.xlsx"} , "title" : "temporary licence releases Jan 2011 - March 2015"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-09-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/417756/answer/previousversion/21827", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1453", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Selous"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Selous"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-09-16T15:17:09.193Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2016-03-03T14:46:42.417Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-09-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Prisoners' Release"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, from which prisons prisoners have been released on temporary licence in each of the last five years.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1565", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Philip Davies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shipley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Philip Davies"} ], "uin" : "9482"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/416968", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/416968/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Spending Review will be published on 25th<\/sup> November, and work is currently underway on the National Security Strategy and Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) which we expect to publish before the end of the year. These reviews will be closely aligned, recognising that economic security and national security are two sides of the same coin.<\/p>

At the Summer Budget, the Government committed to increased spending on defence and security, and to meet the properly measured NATO pledge to spend 2 per cent of GDP on defence every year of this decade. The allocation of a Joint Security Fund of up to an additional £1.5 billion per year by 2020/21, available to the Armed Forces and Security and Intelligence agencies, will also be based on the conclusions of the SDSR.<\/p>

HMRC handles 50 million calls a year from customers. It aims to answer 80 per cent of all calls and accepts that it is not currently delivering on that aspiration. HMRC published a press release on 25 June in which it apologised for the poor service, acknowledged that some customers were struggling to get through on the telephone and outlined a number of initiatives it is putting in place to improve performance.<\/p>

The total number of potential tribunal claims for pregnancy-related detriment or dismissal notified to Acas under the early conciliation scheme by individuals in 2014-15 was 1,851. Of these:<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

· 308 were settled by Acas at early conciliation stage and recorded on a COT3 settlement document;<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

· 545 progressed to a tribunal claim being taken, 264 of which were subsequently settled on an Acas COT3 following further conciliation;<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

· 998 were not settled through Acas, but did not progress to a tribunal case.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

An additional 18 notifications were made by employers. Seventeen of these were settled by Acas and the other was neither settled nor progressed to a tribunal.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government does not have data on the number of private settlements which settled claims before reaching a tribunal. The independently commissioned survey of early conciliation (a sample across all jurisdictions) found that 61 per cent of claimants (and their representatives) who did not settle but decided not to submit a tribunal claim reported that Acas was a factor in their decision.<\/ins><\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Please note: (i) The jurisdictional provided to Acas is only indicative based on the information given by the prospective claimant; (ii) Counted individually there were a total of 1,882 notifications which means that a small number of claimants notified against more than one respondent.<\/ins><\/p>
