answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>Apprenticeships will have an important role to play in creating employment opportunities, particularly for young people, and supporting employers in all sectors to access the skilled workforce they need to recover and grow post COVID-19. We are looking to support employers of all sizes, and particularly smaller businesses, to take on new apprentices this year. We will set out further details in due course.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2020 answer text <p>The Citizens’ Basic Income does not target those most in need of support; it also has high costs and reduces work incentives. The Department for Work and Pensions believes the future lies in support that is increasingly tailored to the needs of the individual which Universal Credit underpins.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 02/07/2020 15:23:29 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott

question text	Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of how wildlife crime, including the illegal killing of raptors and illegal use of traps and snares, has been affected by the COVID-19 lockdown.
tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL5581
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government is aware of suggestions that there has been an increase in reports of wildlife crime, in particular associated with raptor persecution, during the COVID-19 lockdown. Raptor persecution is one of the UK's six wildlife crime priorities and we understand a number of criminal investigations are ongoing. However, it is not possible to confirm on available data whether there has been an increase in the incidents of wildlife crime, increased reporting, or a combination of both.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 25/06/2020 16:13:00 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

question text	Her Majesty's Government why the future support for low carbon heat consultation failed to include the option of large-scale heat pump projects, and proposed support only for off-grid domestic settings and district heat initiatives.
tabling member printed	Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle
uin	HL5582
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>The aim of the Clean Heat Grant scheme for heat pumps and biomass is to provide targeted support to households and small and medium-size enterprises, where upfront cost is a particular barrier in transitioning to low-carbon heat. The scheme is focussed on supporting the installer base that will be required to implement regulations to phase out the installation of high-carbon fossil fuel heating off the gas grid. The Government is committed to doing this during the 2020s, as set out in the Clean Growth Strategy.</p><p> </p><p>While off-gas-grid areas are therefore the focus of the scheme, and BEIS expects uptake to be higher in such areas, we do not propose to exclude support for heat pumps on the gas grid. We are also proposing to support installations in non-domestic buildings up to a capacity of 45kW.</p><p> </p><p>The Clean Heat Grant scheme has been designed as part of a broader package of measures to support the decarbonisation of heat in buildings and in heat networks. The Government intends to publish a Heat and Buildings Strategy later this year, which will set out the wider actions that we will take for reducing emissions from buildings.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 25/06/2020 10:58:10 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
