To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps the Government is taking to support independent jewellers in Southport constituency.
Independent jewellers in Southport and across the country have benefited from the extension of Retail, Hospitality and Leisure relief for 2024-25, a tax cut worth nearly £2.4 billion and a freeze to the small business multiplier for a fourth consecutive year, protecting over a million ratepayers from bill increases.
Government provided an unprecedented package of support for businesses with energy costs through the Energy Bill Relief Scheme and the Energy Bill Discount Scheme. Together these schemes have provided around £7.5 billion to businesses for energy costs.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, in the context of the Jewellery making pathway for the Craft and Design T-Level, what assessment he has made of the number of jewellery makers able to offer industry placements to cover all regions of England.
T Levels are based on the same occupational standards as apprenticeships and the outline content is designed by panels of employers, industry experts and education providers, working with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education. In developing the outline content for the Craft and Design T Level, which is rolling out in September 2023, the T Level panel took account of a number of factors when determining the occupational specialisms of jewellery making and ceramics making, including deliverability and likely demand from employers and students.
The department is investing in direct support to employers and providers to increase the number of industry placements available for all T Levels, across all regions. We have invested over £200 million since the 2018/19 academic year to help providers build their capacity and networks with employers, and we are engaging directly with employers through the National Apprenticeship Service to develop a pipeline of industry placements. We are also working with key intermediaries to develop innovative ways to stimulate the small and mid-size enterprises market, which includes targeting specific industries and geographical regions, and we have established a T Level employer ambassador network to engage with others in their industries on T Levels and industry placements.
There is also a comprehensive package of support available for employers, which offers online guidance, webinars and direct hands-on support to help them prepare for industry placements, and we are further developing our communications materials to continue to raise the profile of T Levels to employers. We will continue to monitor the availability of industry placements across the country to ensure that all T Level students have a high-quality placement.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many injuries were reported involving inappropriate clothing or jewellery worn by staff in schools in the last 12 months.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many injuries were reported involving inappropriate clothing or jewellery worn by staff in schools in the last 12 months.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is responsible for the enforcement of the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013 (RIDDOR), which requires employers to report certain injuries to employees. The type of clothing or jewellery worn does not determine whether an injury must be reported, and HSE do not hold any data on this issue. HSE would only advise on clothing or jewellery in the workplace where there is an identified risk to a work activity. To be reportable, injuries must have occurred as a result of, or be connected to, a work activity.
