answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2022 answer text <p>Following a number of serious accidents at the A3075 Cubert Crossroads junction, Cornwall Council is seeking funding to improve it. In August 2020, Cornwall Council submitted an Expression of Interest for the scheme through the Department’s Local Pinch Point Fund. The Fund has been superseded by the £4.8 billion Levelling Up Fund (LUF) so I would encourage Cornwall to consider submitting a bid for the second round of LUF later this year. In addition, we are providing Cornwall Council with £32.46 million in Highways Maintenance funding in each of the next three years. This is an un-ringfenced grant which may be used for local road improvements.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 23/03/2022 11:05:08 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2022 answer text <p>As of the 15th March 2022, over 152,000 Kickstart jobs have been started by young people. The last date a young person can start a Kickstart job is 31<sup>st</sup> March 2022.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We have previously published the number of jobs approved and advertised as of 31<sup>st</sup> January, <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-01-31/114956" target="_blank">here.</a> At that point, over 235,000 jobs had been advertised and over 305,000 had been approved. Kickstart has now closed to employer applications and as of March, all approved jobs proceeding to the advertisement stage, have been advertised. As such, these totals will not increase but may decline as a result of vacancies being withdrawn or removed by the employer.</p><p>Below are tables listing the number of Kickstart jobs which have been made available and started by young people to date by geographical area of Great Britain and work sector. The figures used are correct as of the 15<sup>th</sup> March 2022 and these figures have been rounded according to departmental standards.</p><p>Jobs made available (advertised) and job starts quoted here include some unfunded Kickstart jobs. Also included in the Great Britain total are a small number of jobs made available (less than 100 in total) that have an unrecorded job location.</p><p>The number of approved jobs is defined as the number of jobs associated with approved applications recorded on the Kickstart application system on the date above. This total excludes approved jobs that have been withdrawn from the Kickstart Scheme by agreement with employers and gateways. This is generally because, over time, some previously approved jobs were removed where the employer chose not to follow up the application.</p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system, which has been developed quickly.</p><p>The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information available for the programme.</p><p><strong>Table 1: Number of Kickstart total available jobs and job starts, Great Britain, by nation and region (figures rounded to nearest 1000*)</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs made available</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs started</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Region / Nation Split</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA RETAINED FROM 31/01/22)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA EFFECTIVE 15/03/22)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong> </strong></p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total, Great Britain</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>235,000</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>152,000</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td><td><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>England</strong></p></td><td><p>204,000</p></td><td><p>132,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East Midlands</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td><td><p>10,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East of England</p></td><td><p>18,000</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>51,000</p></td><td><p>33,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td><td><p>7,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>30,000</p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>26,000</p></td><td><p>16,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td><td><p>9,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West Midlands</p></td><td><p>21,000</p></td><td><p>14,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Yorkshire and The Humber</p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>12,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Scotland</strong></p></td><td><p>19,000</p></td><td><p>13,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Wales</strong></p></td><td><p>12,000</p></td><td><p>7,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Table 2: Number of Kickstart total available jobs and job starts, Great Britain, by Sector (figures rounded to the nearest 10*)</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Sector Split</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs made available</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Total jobs started</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA RETAINED FROM 31/01/22)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>(DATA EFFECTIVE 15/03/22)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Administration</p></td><td><p>57,350</p></td><td><p>37,500</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Animal Care</p></td><td><p>1,610</p></td><td><p>1,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Beauty &amp; Wellbeing</p></td><td><p>1,720</p></td><td><p>1,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Business &amp; Finance</p></td><td><p>8,500</p></td><td><p>5,600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Computing Technology &amp; Digital</p></td><td><p>15,840</p></td><td><p>11,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Construction &amp; Trades</p></td><td><p>7,230</p></td><td><p>4,900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Creative &amp; Media</p></td><td><p>20,990</p></td><td><p>15,600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Delivery &amp; Storage</p></td><td><p>6,380</p></td><td><p>4,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Emergency &amp; Uniform Services</p></td><td><p>520</p></td><td><p>300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Engineering &amp; Maintenance</p></td><td><p>7,080</p></td><td><p>4,600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Environment &amp; Land</p></td><td><p>4,620</p></td><td><p>3,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Government Services</p></td><td><p>1,000</p></td><td><p>600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Healthcare</p></td><td><p>6,140</p></td><td><p>3,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Home Services</p></td><td><p>1,560</p></td><td><p>800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hospitality &amp; Food</p></td><td><p>26,380</p></td><td><p>13,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Law &amp; Legal</p></td><td><p>650</p></td><td><p>500</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Managerial</p></td><td><p>960</p></td><td><p>600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Manufacturing</p></td><td><p>6,430</p></td><td><p>4,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Retail &amp; Sales</p></td><td><p>34,970</p></td><td><p>24,900</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Science &amp; Research</p></td><td><p>990</p></td><td><p>800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Social Care</p></td><td><p>4,740</p></td><td><p>2,400</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sports &amp; Leisure</p></td><td><p>5,920</p></td><td><p>3,800</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Teaching &amp; Education</p></td><td><p>11,000</p></td><td><p>6,300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Transport</p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>400</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Travel &amp; Tourism</p></td><td><p>1,110</p></td><td><p>500</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>* Due to rounding, sum of figures may not match declared total</strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 18/03/2022 14:50:01 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

However, we must balance our role in providing essential support for the vulnerable with ensuring that we do not weaken the ability of the police to protect communities.</p><p>Therefore, while we have tabled an amendment in lieu that provides for the 1824 Act to be repealed in full in England and Wales, we will ensure that the repeal is not commenced until appropriate replacement legislation is in place. In the meantime, we will deliver a bold, new strategy to end rough sleeping which will set out how we will build on recent success and ensure rough sleeping is prevented in the first instance and is effectively responded to in the rare cases where it does occur, but also that our police have the ability to intervene where needed and to keep people safe.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 22/02/2022 17:33:52 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2022 answer text <p>Holiday accommodation businesses are eligible for the Omicron Hospitality and Leisure Grant (OHLG) scheme provided they can evidence they are trading as a business and are listed on the business rates register. Second homeowners not trading as a business cannot claim a grant of any amount. Where a Local Authorities determines that a business is not trading they will not be eligible for a grant. This is consistent with steps announced by Government on 14 January 2022, which mean that owners of second homes who abuse a tax loophole by claiming their often-empty properties are holiday lets will be forced to pay their fair share of tax under tough new measures due to be introduced from April 2023.</p><p> </p><p>Local Authorities have the discretion to use Additional Restrictions Grants (ARG) funding to support businesses in the way that best meets local economic need, in line with the scheme guidance. Local Authorities are encouraged to focus ARG support on businesses who have been severely impacted by reduced business activity due to the spread of the Omicron variant.
