answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the EU with a deal remains the Government’s top priority. That has not changed. We are working closely with the devolved administrations to ensure that we build a stronger and fairer economy for the future, with 193,000 more people in employment in Wales since 2010. At the most recent Budget, the Welsh Government benefitted from a £550 million boost to its budget, a real terms increase up to 2020. The government is investing over £735m in city and growth deals. The government is also supporting the Welsh economy by cutting corporation tax to 17% in 2020, abolishing tolls on the Severn Crossings and investing in Wales’s infrastructure. This will support the Welsh economy to grow and create jobs, supporting hard-working people with greater prospects and living standards as we leave the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 19/02/2019 15:50:44 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>Maintaining price stability is the primary objective, set out in law, of the independent Monetary Policy Committee. As such, the Government does not comment on the conduct of monetary policy. This objective is defined as a symmetric inflation target of 2%, as measured by the twelve month increase in the Consumer Prices Index. Subject to this, its secondary objective is to support the economic policy of the Government, including its objectives for growth and employment.</p><p> </p><p>At their February meeting, the MPC reemphasised that <em>“the </em><em>monetary policy response to Brexit, whatever form it takes, will not be automatic and could be in either direction”</em>, adding that<em> “the Committee will always act to achieve the 2% inflation target.” </em></p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 18/02/2019 16:08:09 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
