answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2022 answer text <p>At Budget 2020, the Chancellor announced that the Government would remove the entitlement to use red diesel from most sectors from April 2022. This more fairly reflects the negative environmental impact of the emissions produced and helps to ensure that the tax system incentivises the development and adoption of greener alternative technologies.</p><p> </p><p>The Government recognised that this would be a significant change for some businesses and ran a consultation to gather information from affected users on the expected impact of these tax changes and make sure it had not overlooked any exceptional reasons why affected sectors should be allowed to continue to use red diesel. During the consultation period, the Government engaged directly with a wide variety of organisations from all parts of the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Following the consultation, the Chancellor announced at Spring Budget 2021 that the Government would grant further entitlements to use red diesel after April 2022 for a limited number of users. However, the Government did not believe that the case made by sectors that will not retain their red diesel entitlement outweighed the need to ensure fairness between the different users of diesel fuels and the Government’s environmental objectives.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 31/03/2022 11:45:24 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2022 answer text <p>The current constituency boundaries are based on data that is already 20 years old, disregarding significant changes in demographics, house building and migration.</p><p>Up-to-date, more equally sized constituencies will make our elections fairer, ensuring that every vote counts the same, wherever it is cast across the United Kingdom. It is in everyone’s interest that our political system is fair. If we let some constituencies stay smaller than others, voters in the smaller constituencies will have more power than those in larger ones, which cannot be right.</p><p>The current Boundary Review is being undertaken by the independent and judge-led Boundary Commissions with extensive public consultation.</p><p>The principles governing the approach to boundary changes were all debated and approved by Parliament in the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 2020.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 31/03/2022 16:49:25 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
