The Grand Bargain commits aid organisations and donors to achieve by 2020 a global, aggregated target of at least 25 per cent of humanitarian funding to local and national responders as directly as possible. DFID does not currently capture the proportion of UK humanitarian funding that goes to such responders. However, the UK\u2019s newly published Humanitarian Reform Policy outlines how national and local actors will be at the centre of DFID\u2019s work. DFID is making progress on this, for example, through support to the Start Fund (£30 million 3 year programme agreed until 2018) that provides rapid support to humanitarian crises such as a landslide in Sierra Leone, flooding in Nepal and Bangladesh, and displacement in the Philippines caused by conflict in Mindanao. Start Fund report that 42% of projects in 2015/16 were implemented fully or partially by a local partner.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1201", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alistair Burt"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Bedfordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alistair Burt"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-10-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-10-31T10:40:46.64Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "20"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "International Development"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Humanitarian Aid"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what proportion of UK Aid's humanitarian funding has been allocated to local and national responders, to fulfil the UK's obligation to reach the global target of 25 per cent by 2020 as set out in the 2016 OECD World Humanitarian Summit's Grand Bargain.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4657", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anneliese Dodds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Anneliese Dodds"} ], "uin" : "109444"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/777007", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for International Development"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/777007/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Responsibility for pursuing companies that have not filed PSC information rests with Companies House. Over 97% of active companies have filed PSC information.<\/p>
Compliance is Companies House\u2019s primary aim, rather than prosecution. It is taking action to ensure that all companies on the active register report their PSC information. Where companies do not move to comply, Companies House will consider what further action to take. This could lead to investigations being passed to other enforcement agencies who will consider the allegation made and, where appropriate, conduct a criminal investigation, which could lead to prosecution action.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/772045/answer/previousversion/16640", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4115", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Margot James"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stourbridge"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Margot James"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-10-23T10:50:15.313Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Companies: Ownership"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress has been made by HM Revenue and Customs to pursue companies that have not registered their beneficial ownership with Companies House; and how much has been collected in fines from such companies.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4657", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anneliese Dodds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Anneliese Dodds"} ], "uin" : "108184"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/766009", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/766009/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) administers the tax-advantaged venture capital schemes: the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS), the Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme, Venture Capital Trusts and the Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC operates the same targets for all advance assurance applications and submissions of statutory compliance statements under the tax-advantaged venture capital schemes, and deals with around 12,000 cases each year.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC accepts around 70% of all advance assurance and compliance statements without any further enquiry.<\/p>
<\/p>
On 9 October 2017 HMRC had 25 SITR advance assurance applications on hand.<\/p>
<\/p>
HMRC aims to respond to all straightforward advance assurance applications received within 15 working days. The target for more complex cases is 40 working days. Cases may take longer to finalise depending on whether further information is needed.<\/p>
<\/p>
There is no standard length of time to process an advance assurance. Some application will require further clarification, additional information from an EIS company or a social enterprise. Others can be processed on the information supplied by the company or the social enterprise. HMRC attempts to process all applications as speedily as possible.<\/p>
<\/p>
The latest statistics on EIS, SEIS and SITR will be published on 31 October. These will include statistics on SITR investments and advance assurance applications received in 2014-15 and 2015-16.<\/p>
<\/p>
A consultation was held last year on ways to streamline the advance assurance service and a summary of responses was published in March. The documents can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/tax-advantaged-venture-capital-schemes-streamlining-the-advance-assurance-service<\/a>. HMRC will be providing an update on progress in due course.<\/p> <\/p> All available data related to the Enterprise Investment Scheme and Venture Capital Trusts are available in the annual Enterprise Investment Scheme and Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme Statistics<\/a> (https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/enterprise-investment-scheme-and-seed-enterprise-investment-scheme-statistics-october-2016<\/a>) and the Venture Capital Trusts Statistics<\/a> (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/venture-capital-trusts-statistics<\/a>) publications.<\/p>"}

A ban will mean tenants require less money up-front, making it easier for people to access and move around the private rented sector.<\/p> We are bringing forward a package of measures to bring fairness and consistency to people in the private rented sector. We are determined to rebalance the relationship between tenants and landlords and ensure tenants have access to effective redress.<\/p> But homelessness is not just a housing issue. That is why we are implementing the most ambitious legislative reform in decades, the Homelessness Reduction Act, which will ensure that more people get the help they need earlier to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.<\/p> <\/p>"}

People without digital skills will be offered support in jobcentres to make and manage their claims on-line, and also to acquire or improve core digital skills. Our work coaches have the flexibility to tailor support for individuals in difficult circumstances; they can adjust their work search requirements and conditionality to allow them to prioritise solutions to their issues. DWP has also rolled out the Universal Support initiative alongside the national roll out of Universal Credit, as part of which Local Authorities deliver both digital and budgeting support.<\/p> Where claimants have no capability to make or manage their claim on-line, telephone, and face to face support is available. Alternatively, an Appointee could make the claim on their behalf and maintain their online account. Interpreting services are available in the Jobcentre for those with severe language challenges. As we continue to deliver the full Universal Credit service, with its expanded claimant base, we are continually reviewing and developing the current vulnerable claimant customer journey, including how vulnerable people are identified and how they are supported both internally and via referral to local services delivered in partnership activity.<\/p>"}
