Legal aid funding is provided when the requisite eligibility criteria are met. Following consideration of claims for payment from the lawyers involved, all payments are made from a central legal aid budget, which is not demarcated according to any particular category of law.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate he has made of the number and proportion of pupils attending secondary schools in (a) Ashfield constituency, (b) Nottinghamshire and (c) England who are eligible for free school meals but not claiming them.
Answered by Nadhim Zahawi
The number of students who are eligible for and are claiming free school meals (FSM) is published at national and school level in the underlying data of the ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ publication. The 2019 publication is available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2019.
FSM are available to parents who are in receipt of certain qualifying benefits, including those that are means tested by the Department for Work and Pensions. To be eligible to receive FSM, a pupil or their parent must make a claim to the school for FSM. Until the claim is made, the pupil is not eligible for FSM. These figures do not include pupils who may be eligible for FSM but no claim has been made.
The underlying data file Schools_pupils_and_their_characteristics_2019_pupil_characteristics_UD.csv includes a column for phase of school, parliamentary constituency and local authority.

Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the effect on people's long-term earnings potential of completing an intermediate level apprenticeship compared with (a) an advanced and (b) a higher level apprenticeship.
Answered by Anne Milton
The apprenticeships reform programme benefits realisation strategy, published in March 2017, sets out a broad range of success measures for the programme. A core benefit of the apprenticeships reform programme is to raise average earnings for apprentices, measured over a period of 5 years.
For learners that achieved in academic year 2010/11, the median annualised earnings 5 years after training were greater at higher levels:
This information was released in October 2018 and can be found in the ‘Further Education: Outcome based success measures: academic years 2010/11 to 2015/16’, available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/748305/FE_learners__outcome_based_success_measures.pdf.
Data published in the ‘Estimation of the labour market returns to qualifications gained in English Further Education’ shows that on average, achievers of intermediate apprenticeships earn 11% more and achievers of advanced apprenticeships earn 16% more, 3-5 years after completing their apprenticeship, than those who started an apprenticeship at that level but did not complete. This information was published in December 2014 and can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/383646/Estimation_of_the_labour_market_returns_to_qualifications_gained_in_English_Further_Education_-_Final_-_November_2014.pdf.
Over the past few years we have introduced major reforms to apprenticeships and, as the system is still adapting, it is too early to know the full productivity and earnings benefits that these changes will bring.
