The review looked at the costs of childcare provision, including business rates. We have commissioned new research to understand provider’s current costs.</p><p>The government has also increased Small Business Rate Relief and provided local authorities with funding to support £300 million of discretionary business rates relief.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2018 answer text <p>We are aware of reports that suggest a process of involuntary organ removal may be taking place in China, including suggestions that minority and religious groups are being specifically targeted. The British government fully supports the Declaration of Istanbul (May 2008), which encourages all countries to draw up legal and professional frameworks to govern organ donation and transplantation activities.</p><p>As the Minister for Europe and the Americas stated in a Westminster Hall debate on 11 October 2016: “Although I do not doubt the need to maintain close scrutiny of organ transplant practices in China, we believe that the evidence base is not sufficiently strong to substantiate claims about the systematic harvesting of organs from minority groups. Indeed, based on all the evidence available to us, we cannot conclude that this practice of “organ harvesting” is definitely happening in China.”</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 12/09/2018 15:35:40 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

uin	170449
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>We are increasing the small claims limit for employers and public liability claims to £2,000. This is both in line with inflation, using the RPI measure, and consistent with the way that increases to the Judicial College Guidelines are calculated. This will lead to a similar number and type of claims being covered as were when the limit was set at £1,000 in 1991.
