answer text <p>Since 2012, the role has been vacant, on one occasion, for longer than a week. This was due to a gap between Senior Civil Servant appointments, when the Senior Information Risk Officer role was vacant. During this period, Senior Information Risk Officer responsibilities were undertaken by the Department’s Data Protection Officer.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This week the UK Government announced that Tax-Free Childcare is now available to around 120,000 families in Scotland whose youngest child is under six.</p><p> </p><p>Parents, including the self-employed, can apply online for Tax-Free Childcare – part of the government’s Childcare Choices offer – for children who were aged under six on 24 November 2017. It will cut childcare costs for working families by up to £2,000 per child per year, or £4,000 for disabled children.</p><p> </p><p>This is a good example of how the UK Government is delivering for people in Scotland. By helping Scottish households keep more of what they earn and supporting them with the cost of living we are building a stronger economy and fairer society that improves lives and creates opportunity.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Under the previous arrangements, Scottish services were locally-funded and were able to recover VAT under UK law, but the new bodies became ineligible to recover VAT as they were no longer locally funded. The Scottish Government was aware of this but decided to restructure in full knowledge of these consequences.</p><p> </p><p>To support our brave police and fire services in Scotland, the government will legislate in Finance Bill 2017-18 to allow Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to recover normally irrecoverable VAT which will save Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service c. £40m per year. The change will come into effect in April 2018.</p> more like this
