The Government is committed to fighting human trafficking. Over £5.5 million has been recovered from those convicted of human trafficking offences in the last five years. Full available details are shown in the following table.
A human trafficker may, as an alternative, be charged and prosecuted for a different offence, such as prostitution or money laundering, which could incur a confiscation order. But this would not be recorded as a trafficking offence.<\/p>

Implementation of the measures in the national protocol is secured through agreement of local arrangements. The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains no central records of the number of local authorities that have adopted the national 2013 Protocol. However, in a recent survey of Chief Crown Prosecutors, the CPS found that, following the publication of the national multi-agency 2013 protocol, 82 of the 174 Local Authorities responsible for children\u2019s services have so far signed local disclosure protocols.<\/p>

The Government recognise the value of young people having a hands-on experience of enterprise in schools, colleges and universities.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) has introduced a number of measures to help inspire young people and open up opportunities for future careers. For example, seed funding the launch of a new enterprise competition in primary schools, 'Fiver', in partnership with Young Enterprise and Virgin Money.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Last year we asked Lord Young, the Prime Minister's advisor on enterprise, to look at what more could be done. His report, Enterprise for All, was published in June 2014 and makes a number of recommendations across all education sectors to encourage a lifelong experience of enterprise. The Government welcomed the report and will be responding in full this autumn.<\/p>
<\/p>
We are also recognising the excellent practice that already exists. For example, the Small Business Charter was set up this year to recognise business schools that work with students and local small businesses to promote enterprise.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, See Inside Manufacturing is a partnership between BIS and industry sectors that aims to inspire young people (aged 11-19 years) into manufacturing by dispelling outdated ideas of the industry, providing a more accurate picture of career prospects, and helping young people understand what they need to succeed in manufacturing. It does this by encouraging manufacturing businesses to open their doors and give students the chance to \u201csee behind the scenes\u201d of a modern manufacturing company. Last year 6,300 young people and their teachers attended events up and down the country, taking part in over 175 visits and events throughout the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Furthermore, the Government\u2019s ambitious programme of reform for adult vocational education in England is based on instilling rigour in qualifications, teaching and testing and ensuring that skills provision is more responsive to the needs of employers and learners. As part of our reform of apprenticeships, new apprenticeship standards will be expected to meet professional registration requirements in sectors where these exist (for example, in engineering, science and accountancy). This will support the drive to improve the quality of apprenticeships and ensure that apprentices are trained to the level of professional competence required by employers and the sector they work in.<\/p>

The estimate for the tax year 2014-15 shows that there are 23.7m taxpayers aged between 21 and 64 and 5.9m aged 65 or over. Within this there are approximately 4.4m taxpayers aged between 21 and 64 and 500,000 taxpayers aged 65 or over who pay the higher rate or above.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
This table contains estimates of the total number of taxpayers aged under 21 years old, 21 to 64 years old and those aged 65 and over split by the marginal tax rates. These figures are projected for 2014-15.<\/p>

The estimates are based upon the 2011-12 Survey of Personal Incomes using economic assumptions consistent with the OBR\u2019s March 2014 economic and fiscal outlook to project forward.<\/p>
