Mutual insurers and their representatives made clear that Mutual Deferred Shares would only be issued if they both qualified as Tier 1 regulatory capital and would not alter the tax treatment of the issuing mutual. The Government’s decision in 2018 not to lay secondary legislation was taken based on an assessment that it was not possible to design Mutual Deferred Shares to meet both these conditions. The Government is committed to supporting the mutuals sector, but continues to have no plans to bring forward such legislation.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 18/05/2021 08:29:18 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2021 answer text The Government has recently announced support to incentivise the installation of low carbon heating as part of the Net Zero Strategy. The new £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme will support the uptake of heat pumps, which we are confident will soon be a cost-effective alternative to oil heating. The Home Upgrade Grant also provides support to landlords with low-income tenants in off gas-grid properties to install energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating, subject to a minimum contribution. The Government also maintains a reduced rate of VAT of 5 per cent for the installation of many energy saving materials, including ground source and air source heat pumps, subject to certain conditions. HM Treasury keeps the tax treatment of deductions for landlords under review. answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/10/2021 12:51:20 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2022 answer text <p>In January 2011, the Government announced its intention to introduce further regulation in relation to the sale of regulated mortgage contracts to unregulated firms. Following a review, the Government decided that it would not take forward legislation but would instead keep the position of contracts sold to unregulated firms under review and return to legislation if there was sufficient evidence of consumer detriment.</p><p> </p><p>The Government remains open to further regulation but is yet to see evidence that any consumer harm has occurred under the current regulatory regime that would have been prevented by the proposed regulation. Under the current regulatory regime, firms administering regulated mortgages, including third-party administrators, must be regulated. This means that they are subject to relevant provisions of the Financial Conduct Authority’s Mortgage Conduct of Business requirements, including provisions regarding the fair treatment of customers in arrears. It is also worth noting that further regulation of this kind would not necessarily enable borrowers to switch to a cheaper mortgage deal or to materially lower the interest rates they pay.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 20/01/2022 12:03:45 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
