question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to paragraph 3.59 of the Budget 2018 Red Book, what the evidential basis was for his Department concluding that a levy on all cups would not at this time be effective in encouraging widespread reuse; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text The Government recognises the problems caused by disposable cups, which are difficult to recycle and often littered. At Budget 2018, the Government concluded that a levy on all cups would not at this point deliver a decisive shift from disposable cups to reusable cups across all beverage types. This conclusion is based on the submissions made to the government during the call for evidence on single use plastic waste and examining alternatives to current single-use cups containing plastic.<p> </p><p>The Government expects industry to go further in taking action on disposable plastic cups and will return to the issue if sufficient progress is not made. The Government is also considering the case for reducing the environment impact of disposable cups within a reformed Packaging Producer Responsibility system and a potential Deposit Return Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 04/03/2019 10:51:48 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of his Department paying the £65 application fee for settled or pre-settled status for EU nationals (a) employed by and (b) working as an outsourced worker in his Department; what estimate he has made of the total cost to his Department of paying those fees; and what assessment he has made of the risks that the EU Settlement Scheme poses to the retention of EU nationals (i) employed by or (ii) working as an outsourced worker in his Department.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The UK Government currently does not plan to pay the Settled Status for its non-UK EU citizen employees. The fee is set at an affordable rate (£65), less than the cost of an UK passport.</p><p>Outsourced workers are not employees of HM Treasury and therefore this would be a decision for their employers.</p><p>The number of non-UK EU citizens employed across the Civil Service is not consistently collected across Government. It is therefore not possible to estimate the cost of paying the settled status fee for non-UK EU nationals employed directly by the Treasury.</p><p>We value the significant contribution made by EU citizens working in the Treasury and we want these colleagues to continue to play a full role in the work of the Civil Service. We are committed to supporting our EU citizen employees in the Treasury, and will continue to engage with them over the coming months.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/12/2018 16:09:36 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
