Since the government does not generally publish analysis of polices that do not go ahead, the publishing of these documents goes significantly beyond usual practice. HMRC also publish a methodological paper on tobacco entitled Econometric Analysis of Cigarette Consumption in the UK. This can be found on gov.uk.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 19/01/2016 17:18:47 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

Directly elected mayoral authorities, such as the Mayor of London, will have the power to levy a small supplement on business rates to fund new infrastructure.</p><br /><p>In the last Parliament, the Government gave local councils greater power over council tax support schemes and the treatment of second homes and empty properties. The Government believes there would be difficulties in devolving other property taxes, such as Stamp Duty Land Tax and Capital Gains Tax, to London as this would create a distortive effect around the border, increase administration costs and complexity and expose local government to significant fiscal risk.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 01/12/2015 16:46:10 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
