Website. The specific information requested is not readily available. HMRC takes breaches of strategic export controls very seriously but does not view a criminal prosecution as the only successful law enforcement outcome in all cases. There are several other options they can and regularly do exercise; these include building awareness, sending warning letters, issuing compound penalties and seizure or disruption actions. answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 29/01/2018 14:54:10 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

uin	123689
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2018 answer text <p>The UK government is devolving powers over Welsh rates of income tax to the Welsh Assembly. From April 2019, the Welsh Government will be able to set the basic, higher, and additional rates of income tax in Wales. These new tax powers, combined with the new funding settlement agreed in the Welsh Government’s fiscal framework, will mean the Welsh Government is responsible for raising more of what it spends. This paves the way to making the Welsh Assembly a more powerful, accountable and mature institution, with greater powers and responsibilities to grow and support the Welsh economy.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 23/01/2018 15:29:32 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
