answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2019 answer text <p>The current voluntary payment scheme for share fishermen was introduced to help customers with an uncertain earning pattern to save towards their income tax liability, which is accounted for and paid via the annual self-assessment (SA) process. The scheme is supported by Barclays, operating special bank accounts, from which HMRC can periodically withdraw funds.</p><p>These arrangements no longer meet banking regulations. There has also been very low take-up of the voluntary payment scheme, so HMRC are working with Barclays to review what services can be offered to share fishermen in future, taking into account developments in the income tax self-assessment process and wider tax administration as well as the payment options available to other taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/07/2019 09:47:58 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2019 answer text <p>Heat pumps have an important role to play in decarbonising heat in our homes and businesses. The government is committed to supporting the growth of the UK heat pump industry and through the Renewable Heat Incentive we are spending £2.8bn between 2018 and 2021 to support innovative low carbon heat technologies in homes and businesses, including heat pumps.</p><p>By 2025 the Government will introduce a Future Homes Standard for new build homes to be future-proofed with low carbon heating and world leading levels of energy efficiency, to create healthy homes that are fit for the future, have low energy bills, and are better for the environment. The Future Homes Standard will be implemented through an uplift to the Building Regulations, subject to consultation. We will expand on the technical detail of these proposals during the 2019 Part L consultation.</p><p>BEIS is considering the future policy framework for supporting electrification of heat and we are looking to launch an electrification of heat demonstration project in 2019 to inform further our thinking on the feasibility of a large-scale transition to heat pumps.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 03/07/2019 15:42:58 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

It refers to the ability of customers of one network to use another provider’s network when they do not have access to a signal in a given area. This is currently mandated for emergency calls so that a 999 call can be made from any mobile in all areas where there is a signal from at least one operator.
