Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what funds the Government is providing for businesses affected by flooding which did not have insurance.
Answered by Anna Soubry
I have made it clear to local councils and Local Enterprise Partnerships who are administering the Business Recovery Grant that they should look to provide funding to un-insured businesses so long as it is clear that this is not rewarding deliberate bad business practice. So where a flooded business has made a reasonable effort to secure insurance and not been successful they can be funded. We have provided £11m in total to provide support to businesses, allocated to local areas based on the number of flooded businesses.

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what information his Department holds on the number of graduates working in the recruitment sector.
Answered by Lord Johnson of Marylebone
The Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) collects and publishes data on the destination of graduates from UK universities 6 months after graduation in the annual Statistical First Release ‘Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education’ (DLHE).
As part of DLHE, HESA records the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) category of those respondents in employment. The latest data refers to students who graduated in the 2013/14 academic year. Among those UK-domiciled first degree leavers who responded to the survey and were in employment, 2.3% were working in the ‘employment activities’ sector.
