The British Council promotes exchange between the Western Balkans and the UK’s education sector and creative industries, and supports people and institutions in developing enterprising cultural offerings. In May, for instance, the British Council hosted a conference in North Macedonia for 200 English teachers on the future of English.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are they taking to recover loans which were lost to fraud during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Answered by Lord Johnson of Lainston - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)

Lenders were required to take appropriate precautions against fraud, including Know Your Customer and Anti Money Laundering checks. If fraud has occurred because these checks have not been completed properly, lenders cannot claim on the Government guarantee and will have to bear the costs themselves. As at 16 January 2024, the Government guarantee has been removed from 11,720 loans offered across the three covid debt schemes to the value of £1.02 billion.

The Government is committed to bearing down on fraud in the schemes. We are working with a wide range of organisations, including lenders, law enforcement, and partners across government to recover fraudulently obtained loans.

The latest Government figures made available in the BEIS Annual Report and Accounts (2022/2023) indicate that estimated lifetime losses due to fraud and error will be £1.74bn.

Question

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-27604 by Tom Arthur on 28 May 2024, when its (a) ministers and (b) officials last met with the UK (i) Department for Business and Trade, (ii) Department for Work and Pensions and (iii) Government to discuss Scotland's long-term labour market strategy, and what the outcomes were of any such meetings.

Answered by Forbes, Kate

Ministers and officials have regular engagement with the UK Government on labour market matters.

Scottish Government officials meet regularly with Department for Work and Pensions officials from Job Centre Plus to discuss a range of operational and strategic issues as we collectively shape the approach to employability delivery in Scotland. Scottish Government and DWP officials also attend the Access to Work Stakeholder Forum, which last met on 8 May 2024 and discussed research undertaken by Inclusion Scotland on people’s lived experience of using Access to Work.

A notable example of recent constructive engagement was collaborative work with DWP to develop messaging for employers to promote the benefits of Fair Work. The most recent quarterly meeting between Scottish Government officials and the Department for Business and Trade focussed on new Flexible Working legislation.

We continue to call for employment powers to be devolved. Securing the full range of powers in relation to employment will enable the Scottish Parliament to fully implement policies that will best meet Scotland’s distinct needs. These powers would enable us to create fairer workplaces, enhance workers’ rights in Scotland and help shift the curve on poverty and deliver upon our shared ambition for a fairer, greener and more prosperous Scotland.
