answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>No Scottish Limited Partnerships (SLPs) have been fined since the People with Significant Control register came into force.</p><p> </p><p>I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to her on 2nd July 2018 to Question 157783. Compliance is Companies House’s primary aim, rather than prosecution. It is taking action to ensure that all SLPs report their PSC information. Companies House is actively engaged with SLPs and their representatives to make them aware of their responsibilities, and in addition, it has issued reminder letters to all SLPs who have failed to file PSC information. Failure to comply with the requirement to report PSC information does not incur a civil penalty but it is an offence and may lead to a fine or imprisonment upon prosecution. Companies House is not a prosecuting body and will refer cases to a relevant prosecutor when all other avenues have been exhausted and an SLP has not complied with their obligations.</p><p>In April the Government consulted on a package of reforms which would limit the misuse of limited partnerships, including in their Scottish form. I anticipate that the Government’s response will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 04/12/2018 10:08:27 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst previous answer version 86896 answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>The recent State aid judgment by the ECJ against the European Commission in the Tempus case was decided on procedural grounds, holding that the Commission should have consulted more fully before granting State aid approval in 2014. It did not challenge the nature of the Capacity Market mechanism itself. The judgment removed State aid approval for the Capacity Market, preventing the UK Government from making any further capacity payments under existing agreements until re-approval.</p><p> </p><p>We are already working closely with the Commission to aid their investigation and seek timely State aid approval for the Capacity Market as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>The Government and National Grid will ensure that market participants are kept updated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/12/2018 10:05:27 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

We have been allocated £1.5 billion for the Adult Education Budget for each year of the 2015 spending review period, up to 2020, to engage adults to participate and develop the skills and learning that they need up to level 3 to equip them for work, an apprenticeship or further learning.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2016, we have made over £330 million available to support major college restructuring, supporting significant improvements to financial sustainability in the sector. We are currently considering the final applications for the Restructuring Facility and expect the final figure to rise significantly before the programme ends in March 2019.</p><p> </p><p>We are actively exploring the funding and resilience of further education and will be assessing how far existing and forecast funding and regulatory structures enable high quality provision. This work will align closely with the Post-18 Funding Review, in particular, to ensure a coherent vision for further and higher education. As with other areas of departmental spending, further education funding from 2020 onwards will be considered as part of the next Spending Review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 04/12/2018 09:55:58 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton
