We encourage Local Authorities to make remaining payments to eligible businesses as quickly as possible.</p><p> </p><p>We used the best data we had available when allocating grant funding to Local Authorities, however it has since become apparent that in some cases these original allocations were based on imperfect information regarding the number of eligible businesses. Some Local Authorities have an over-allocation of funding, whereas others do not. Therefore, allowing Local Authorities to use their own underspends from the grant schemes to give further discretionary grants would create unfair local disparities in the level of support provided to businesses.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is aware that some small businesses have found themselves excluded from the Small Business Grant Fund and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Grant Fund 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 businesses in this situation.</p><p> </p><p>Local Authorities are in the process of setting up their discretionary schemes, and we expect many Local Authorities to launch these schemes in the coming weeks. The Government continues to review the economic situation and consider what support businesses and other organisations need.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch grouped question UIN 51833 question first answered 04/06/2020 16:38:09 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2020 answer text The Government has no plans to waive this limit - known as the matching rule - because it is vital to protect the integrity of the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme. The scheme has substantially fewer record-keeping requirements than Gift Aid which would make it vulnerable to fraud should the matching rule be waived. answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 04/11/2020 14:04:57 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2020 answer text <p>The Government is currently reviewing the case for reform of the law on making wills given current circumstances.</p><p>The constraints of the Covid-19 situation must be balanced against the important safeguards in the law to protect elderly and vulnerable people in particular against undue influence and fraud. Having two independent witnesses provides safeguards to those making wills. Privileged wills are a long established convention restricted to people making wills when on active military service where the normal formalities cannot be observed, but which do not equate to the current civil circumstances. Other reform measures are being considered at present.</p><p>In the longer term, the Government will consider reforms to the law on wills arising from the forthcoming Law Commission report on wills, which will explore a range of issues reviewing the current law and the case for reform (including on the use of technology).</p><p>The Government is committed to considering further work on witnessing documents by video-conference generally, in the light of the recent Law Commission report on Electronic Execution of Documents, which will help to inform potential reforms to the law on wills in the future.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 21/04/2020 16:14:50 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk
