Technical and Further Education Bill — New Clause — Payments Related to Students Undertaking Apprenticeships — 19 Apr 2017 at 15:30
Graham Allen MP, Nottingham North voted to pay child benefit in respect of those undertaking a statutory apprenticeship in England and Wales and to require local councils in England and Wales to make payments to those who were in their care who go on to undertake a statutory apprenticeship.
The majority of MPs voted against paying child benefit in respect of those undertaking a statutory apprenticeship in England and Wales and against requiring local councils in England and Wales to make payments to those who were in their care who go on to undertake a statutory apprenticeship.
MPs were considering the Technical and Further Education Bill[1]
The motion supported by the majority of MPs in this vote was:
- That this House disagrees with Lords amendment 1[2].
The rejected Lords amendment 1 proposed a new clause titled Financial support for students undertaking apprenticeships stating:
- (1) The Secretary of State must by regulations made by statutory instrument make provision for—
- (a) making a person undertaking a statutory apprenticeship, as defined under section A11 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009, a qualifying young person for the purposes of child benefit; and
- (b) extending the Higher Education Bursary provided for by section 23C(5A) of the Children Act 1989 to a person who is a former relevant child undertaking a statutory apprenticeship, as defined under section A11 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009.
- (2) Statutory instruments under subsection (1) are subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.”
Currently the Higher Education Bursary is at least £2000 (in total, not per year) in England and Wales[3][4].
