answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2017 answer text <p>Since its introduction in 1996, the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) has contributed over £1.4 billion to community projects.</p><p> </p><p>The value for money provided by the LCF is assessed in the same manner as all other Government funding.</p><p> </p><p>Despite difficult decisions on spending, at Budget 2017 the Government decided to maintain the value of the LCF at £39.3 million for 2017-18. This means the cap on contributions from landfill operators has increased from 4.2% to 5.3%. The Government expects to maintain this 5.3% cap for future years, but this expectation assumes we see continued progress from environmental bodies in reducing administrative costs and the level of unspent funds.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 29/03/2017 13:40:42 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has formally consulted with stakeholders, including a large number of public sector organisations on the impacts of the changes. The Government is analysing these responses and will respond in due course.</p><p> </p><p>Changes to off-payroll working in the public sector will make the engager responsible for deducting and paying associated tax and National Insurance where the intermediary rules apply. These changes will increase compliance with existing rules, rather than introducing a new tax liability. It is right that public sector bodies ensure that their workers are paying the correct amount of tax. At Budget this year, the Government published an estimate of the Exchequer yield as a result of these changes. This totalled around £550 million over the scorecard period, to 2021.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 17/10/2016 16:03:29 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2016 answer text <p>It is for clinical commission groups (CCGs) to decide locally the extent to which fertility treatment is offered. CCGs’ decisions should be underpinned by clinical insight and knowledge of local healthcare needs. As such, provision of services may vary in response to local needs. NHS England has general intervention powers in relation to CCGs, should it be satisfied that a CCG is failing or has failed to discharge any of its functions, or there is a significant risk that it will fail to do so. It is also NHS England’s role to provide support and guidance to CCGs.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 27/06/2016 16:39:56 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
