answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>So far 22 taxpayers have been in contact with HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) about a discrepancy with the online Pay As You Earn accounts, whereby the liability and payment information held on its Head of Duty (HOD) IT system differs to the information displayed online to a taxpayer.</p><p>This discrepancy has occured in some circumstances where a taxpayer has made multiple payments. While the HOD system is able to accept multiple payments, the connected system which displays the information to the customer can only acknowledge and show one payment. HMRC is developing new functionality that will be introduced by April 2017. In the meantime HMRC is providing a manual workaround for customers.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/11/2016 17:01:03 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>This is a matter for local authorities to take based on the value of retaining a phone box to the local community.</p><p>We recognise the importance of public call boxes as a means of calling the emergency services. Ofcom requires that there is a period of consultation before a public call box is removed and that one of the factors to be considered by the relevant public body is the potential importance of the call box to contact the emergency services.</p><p> </p><p>Improving mobile connectivity across the UK, including in rural and hard to reach areas is a priority for the Government, and the December 2014 agreement with industry guarantees that each mobile network operator will provide voice and SMS text coverage to 90% of the UK's landmass by end-2017. Additionally, Telefonica has a licence obligation to deliver indoor 4G coverage to 98% of UK premises over the same period. Taken together these obligations will cut complete not spots further, and improve mobile coverage across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>The Code of Practice for the Public Emergency Call Service requires that a caller from a mobile phone is able to roam onto another mobile network to make an emergency call if they have no signal from their own provider. The improvements in mobile connectivity arising from the December 2014 agreement will support this.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 14/11/2016 17:16:25 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2016 answer text <p>The Chancellor has guaranteed structural and investment fund projects in the UK that are signed before and after the Autumn Statement. In addition, projects where UK organisations bid directly and competitively for EU funding will be guaranteed by the UK Government if the bids are won before our departure from the EU, regardless of whether or not the projects continue after departure. Funding for other projects will be honoured by the government if they are good value for money and are in line with domestic strategic priorities.</p><p> </p><p>Leaving the EU means we will want to take our own decisions about how to deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding. We are consulting closely with stakeholders to review all EU funding schemes to ensure that any ongoing funding commitments best serve the UK‘s national interest, while ensuring appropriate investor certainty.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 14/11/2016 17:02:36 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock
