A preliminary equality impact assessment undertaken by the Department suggests there is little difference between the proportions of men and women undertaking postgraduate taught courses under 30 and those who are older, or in their propensity to study part-time. We will gather further evidence as part of the consultation before finalising the terms of the postgraduate taught loan.<\/p>

The Government aims to foster greater collaboration between schemes aimed at protecting the consumer as it believes that such collaborations will both enhance clarity and protection to the consumer and thus further marginalise the unscrupulous trader. To support these ambitions relevant Departments are engaged in exploratory discussions to foster closer working between government-sponsored schemes in the home repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) market.<\/p>

Institutional investors, including pension funds, are a promising source of investment in UK infrastructure. Institutional investors are particularly relevant for infrastructure as they are looking for longer term investments to match defined liabilities that are realised when claims are made for pension or insurance purposes.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The government is encouraging greater involvement of institutional investors in UK infrastructure. The Pensions Infrastructure Platform (PIP) was announced in 2011 to help make infrastructure investment more accessible to pension funds. Earlier this year, 7 pension funds agreed to invest £100 million each. In February 2014 the PIP launched its first equity fund with a cap of £500 million, of which £250 million was committed, and has made a number of investments. The government also set up the Insurers\u2019 Infrastructure Investment Forum to give members of the Association of British Insurers (ABI) a direct communication link to government, exploring ways to maximise opportunities for insurance fund managers to invest in UK infrastructure. In December 2013, six insurers \u2013 Aviva, Friends Life, Legal & General, Prudential, Scottish Widows and Standard Life \u2013 said they will work alongside partners with the aim of delivering £25 billion of investment in UK infrastructure in the next five years.<\/p>
