answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2021 answer text <p>The most recent comprehensive data on the distribution of wealth is available for the period 2016-18, collected by the Office for National Statistics and published in its biennial ‘Wealth in Great Britain’ publication. Owing to the time lag in more recent data becoming available, the Treasury has not conducted analysis of the distribution of wealth by quintile or decile in the years 2019, 2020 and 2021.</p><p> </p><p>The government is committed to supporting household living standards during this difficult time for the country, and has announced an unprecedented package of support – including a boost to Universal Credit, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS), and the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS) – helping to protect incomes, jobs, and support those most in need.

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the cost to the public purse is of introducing one-off payments of £1,000 to all wet pubs that are unable to open due to covid-19 restrictions.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2020 answer text <p>The Government is providing additional funding to all local authorities in Tiers 2 and 3 to enable them to make one-off grants of £1,000 to all wet-led pubs in their areas. We will calculate the funding which local authorities receive for this scheme using a combination of Valuation Office Agency data and industry information. The cost to the public purse will be dependent on the take-up of the grants.</p><p>This additional support comes on top of existing support that is already available to wet-led pubs through the Local Restrictions Support Grant schemes under which these pubs will receive up to £3,000 per month for each month they are closed. The Government is continuing to collect evidence on the impact of the pandemic on the hospitality industry and work with businesses and representative groups to ensure that support provided is right for this industry and the economy as a whole.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 10/12/2020 10:42:42 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2020 answer text <p>Given wet-led pubs in tiers 2 and 3 will be subject to significant measures under the new regional tiered system, and will miss out on business during the busy Christmas period, it is right for the Government to increase its support to these businesses.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has announced an additional £1,000 Christmas grant for ‘wet-led pubs’ in tiers 2 and 3. The payment will be a one-off for December, and eligible wet-led pubs across these tiers are invited to apply through their local authority who will be responsible for distributing the grants.</p><p> </p><p>This grant is just one part of the unprecedented package of support that is available for businesses. The Government has acted to deliver support to the hospitality sectors by extending the CJRS until March and provided cash grants of up to £3,000 per month to help businesses that are closed with their costs.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Government has provided £1.1 billion of Discretionary Grant funding for local authorities to target support to the businesses that are most important to their local economy.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2020 answer text <p>When the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) ends, employers will have access to the Job Support Scheme regardless of whether they previously used CJRS. The JSS, announced in September, is designed to protect jobs in businesses who are facing pressures over the winter months due to Covid-19. The JSS Open which was announced in September, provides a Government grant which covers a portion of all hours not worked by an employee on reduced hours.</p><p> </p><p>The JSS Closed, an expansion to the JSS announced on the 9<sup>th</sup> October, provides a Government grant for 2/3 of the wages of all employees in businesses forced to close by local lockdowns. In this way, employees remain linked to businesses and employers can quickly scale up activity to any increase in demand.</p><p> </p><p>We have also introduced the Job Retention Bonus. This provides a £1,000 grant for each previously furloughed employee retained in meaningful employment by January 31<sup>st</sup>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 21/10/2020 14:23:15 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2020 answer text <p>The Government recognises the challenging times facing the aerospace sector as a result of COVID-19.

There are other schemes (including CBILS) that can provide support to specific firms.</p><p> </p><p>The government will continue to engage with businesses and representative groups with the aim of ensuring that support provided is right for these sectors and for the economy as a whole.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 10/07/2020 13:26:52 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
