question text	Her Majesty's Government what assumptions they made in forecasting expected revenue from the three percentage point stamp duty levy on the purchase of additional homes and homes available for rent.
tabling member printed	Lord Flight
uin	HL871
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2017 answer text The key assumptions behind the forecast for expected revenue from the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) higher rates for additional properties are as set out in the Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015 and Budget 2016 policy costings. The tax base was estimated by combining price and volumes data from the Council of Mortgage Lenders, Census 2011 and administrative data from SDLT and Council Tax. The tax base was projected to grow over the forecast period in line with the OBR Autumn Statement 2015 forecasts for residential SDLT, residential transactions and average house prices. The costing also accounted for a behavioural response. At Budget 2016 the size of the tax base was re-estimated by the OBR using HM Revenue and Customs administrative data from SDLT returns. answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/07/2017 08:54:59 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to establish a cross-departmental working party to consider replacement of the Barnett Formula with a needs-based system of resource allocation, and what consideration they have given to putting such a system in place for the 2019-20 financial year.
tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL838
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2017 answer text <p>The government remains committed to the Barnett formula, and has no plans to replace it. The Barnett formula is designed to ensure that Devolved Administrations are funded in a transparent way to deliver their priorities within their devolved responsibilities.</p><p> </p><p>The government has also recently agreed a new fiscal framework for the Welsh Government, which both governments agree is fair for Wales and for the rest of the UK. The Barnett formula will remain central to the Welsh Government’s funding, while the introduction of a new needs-based factor will see their relative funding remain at a fair level for the long term.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/07/2017 08:47:51 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	Her Majesty's Government what plans they have developed to ensure that, following Brexit, funding which has previously been supplied to Wales through European Structural Funds will be fully replaced with UK Treasury funds.
tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL843
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/07/2017 answer text <p>The government has announced a number of guarantees for EU funding. These include European structural and investment fund projects signed before the UK leaves the EU, awards made by the European Commission following competitive bid processes, and maintaining the current level of agricultural funding under CAP pillar 1 until 2020.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond these priorities, decisions on the replacement of EU funding will be taken in light of wider UK strategic priorities and other domestic spending decisions. For example, as set out in our manifesto, the government will continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of the parliament, and will create a new UK Shared Prosperity Fund.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/07/2017 08:50:55 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
