	uin	48336
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government is aware that some small businesses and organisations have found themselves excluded from the existing business grants schemes because of the way they interact with the business rates system. That is why the Government has allocated up to an additional £617 million to Local Authorities to enable them to give discretionary grants to organisations in this situation. The Government’s intention is for Local Authorities to prioritise the following types of organisation when making discretionary grants:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Small businesses in shared offices or other flexible workspaces for example, industrial parks, science parks, incubators etc, which do not have their own business rates assessment;</li><li>Regular market traders who do not have their own business rates assessment;</li><li>B&amp;Bs which pay Council Tax instead of business rates; and</li><li>Charity properties in receipt of charitable business rates relief which would otherwise have been eligible for Small Business Rates Relief or Rural Rate Relief<p> </p></li></ul><p>Local Authorities may choose to focus payments on those priority groups which are most relevant to their local areas. Local Authorities may also choose to pay grants to organisations outside of these priority groups, according to local economic need, so long as the organisation was trading on 11<sup>th</sup> March, and has not received any other cash grant funded by central Government (with the exception of grants from the SEISS).</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Government has announced a £750m support package for charities. £360m of this will be allocated directly to charities providing essential services and supporting vulnerable people, including up to £200m for hospices across the next quarter. A further £310m will support smaller, local charities, including through grants distributed by the National Lottery Community Fund. £60m will be allocated to the Devolved Administrations through the Barnett formula. The Government pledged to match whatever the public donated to the BBC Big Night In fundraiser on 23 April, with a minimum of £20m going to the National Emergencies Trust.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 02/06/2020 06:50:16 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2021 answer text <p>Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) is delivered from GOV.UK alongside other government digital services through the secure Government Gateway. Parents apply for TFC through the online Childcare Service, which HM Revenue &amp; Customs deliver in partnership with National Savings &amp; Investment (NS&amp;I).</p><p>There have been two incidents of deposited funds not appearing in TFC accounts since the scheme started in April 2017. In August 2019 3,074 TFC customers were affected by a system error, of which all funds were remediated to the correct account. Since this incident, NS&amp;I introduced a number of additional controls; including automated system scripts which alert them to any missed or unprocessed files. When alerted NS&amp;I evoke their industry standard Incident (ITIL) process and conform to a Service Level Agreement set with HMRC, which has a range of response and resolution times depending on the scale of the incident (such as the number of customers impacted).</p><p>More recently in December 2020 198 customers were affected by a different processing issue, which is currently being remediated.</p><p>If parents suspect their account is being misused they should contact the Childcare Service helpline to report their concerns. The Childcare Service will investigate the matter immediately.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Steve Barclay question first answered 20/01/2021 14:58:19 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
