answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The Government is moving UK Green Investment Bank plc (GIB) into private ownership so it can continue operating in the same way it does now only funded with private capital rather than relying on taxpayers’ support. The detailed background and supporting case for this move was set out in the policy statement we published on 18 November. Decisions on the proposed sale are being taken in accordance with best practice to ensure all available options are properly examined in a detailed business case and that a robust valuation process is followed. The process does not involve preparation of an impact assessment as there are no regulatory or significant cost impacts of a majority sale of GIB, or changes to pre-existing policy goals for GIB.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 18/01/2016 16:28:50 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry

Alongside this, HMRC is running a national marketing campaign to remind customers of the 31 January deadline. Support is available to those who need it as HMRC is putting hundreds of extra people on its helplines during this very busy period, and has introduced new support channels like webchat and online video guidance.</p><br /> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 18/01/2016 16:43:09 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The Member States participating in negotiations to introduce a Financial Transaction Tax (FTT) under enhanced co-operation are yet to agree many fundamental aspects of the tax. Until these are agreed the implications for the UK will not be clear.</p><br /><p>The Chancellor has been clear since the enhanced co-operation FTT was first proposed that any new tax must respect the rights of non-participating Member States, including the UK. We continue to follow the negotiations closely, and remain prepared to challenge the FTT at the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) if our legal concerns with the Commission’s original proposal are not addressed.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 18/01/2016 16:20:43 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
