answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has stringent governance arrangements in place where insolvency is considered. Each case is considered individually and, where a company is trading insolvent, HMRC must take the most appropriate action to mitigate the tax losses. Many factors are considered when deciding whether to petition against a company.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>HMRC treats unpaid Accelerated Payments as any other established debt using their range of debt collection powers as necessary to recover what is owed, including insolvency powers where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC does not hold information on the amount recovered from company liquidations caused by unpaid accelerated payment notice debts. Any insolvency action in relation to unpaid accelerated payment notices is currently at an early stage.</p> more like this

answer text <p>There are currently around 125 Armed Forces personnel based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, delivering the breadth of UK defence engagement with Saudi Arabia. Amongst their many tasks, these personnel deliver training, which we assess helps develop the Saudi-led Coalition's targeting processes and supports their compliance with International Humanitarian Law. During courses, additional personnel either deploy to Saudi Arabia, or provide training in the UK.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The methodology after the Outline Business Case stage for assessing value for money for schemes which are to be conventionally funded, is then unchanged from existing guidance in e.g. the Capital Investment Manual, published in 1994.</p><p> </p><p>In November 2011 the Coalition Government announced a complete reform of the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) model after a review. This recognised the need to address the widespread concerns with PFI – too slow and expensive; too inflexible and a lack of transparency. A new Public Private Partnership model to replace the PFI was announced in 2012, Private Finance 2 (PF2). Key features of the new PF2 model include the Government co-investing in projects as a minority shareholder to strengthen the partnership working and share in any returns and exclusion of 'soft' facilities management services such as cleaning and catering to improve flexibility.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the PFI review, the Coalition Government undertook to revise the value for money guidance. Further guidance was published in December 2012.</p>
