answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2024 answer text <p>The government’s aspiration is to invest 2.5% of GDP on defence, when the fiscal and economic circumstances allow. The Prime Minister has been clear that the target and path towards 2.5% will be set out at the next Spending Review.</p><p>The government has consistently prioritised defence spending. The Ministry of Defence was the first department to get certainty on its budgets in this Parliament. This settlement was the largest sustained spending increase in defence since the end of the Cold War, with a £24 billion uplift in cash terms over the four-year period. In March 2023, we also provided an extra £11 billion for defence and national security priorities over the next five years, with £4.95 billion over the next two years.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 17/04/2024 10:54:11 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2024 answer text <p>Accommodation can be exempted from tax, providing it meets certain conditions which are set out in HMRC guidance. These rules apply to the whole of the UK and are consistent across different employers. This ensures the UK tax system is simple, easy to understand, and limits the risk of abuse.</p><p> </p><p>The government has no plans to make changes to the tax rules or guidance in this area, but does keep all taxes under review.</p><p> </p><p>The government recognises the critical role police officers play in our communities. However, policing and housing are devolved to the Scottish Parliament and the provision of broader support in these areas, beyond tax relief, is therefore a matter for the Scottish Government.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 17/04/2024 14:00:21 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the temporary easement for wine products will end on 1 February 2025.

tabling member printed	Dan Carden
uin	21491
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2024 answer text <p>As part of the new alcohol duty system, the Government introduced the temporary wine easement. During this period, all wine between 11.5-14.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) will pay duty as if it were 12.5% ABV. The temporary wine easement will last until 1 February 2025, giving the wine industry over two years to adapt to the new system.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is closely monitoring the impact of the recent reforms and will evaluate the impact of the new rates and structures three years after the changes took effect on 1 August 2023. This will allow time to understand the impacts on the alcohol market, and for HMRC to gather useful and accurate data with which to evaluate the effects of the reform.</p><p>As with all taxes, the Government keeps the alcohol duty system under review during its yearly Budget process.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 17/04/2024 15:05:03 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies
