uin	49727
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2016 answer text <p>Social care continues to be a key priority for the Government. This is why against the context of tough public sector finances the Government has taken steps to protect social care services. However, it is for local authorities to decide how to prioritise their spending based on local priorities and need.</p><p> </p><p>The Autumn 2015 Spending Review settlement announced that local authorities who are responsible for social care would have the ability to raise additional funding to spend exclusively on adult social care through an annual council tax raise of up to 2% above the existing threshold. This new funding for adult social care will be pooled with additional funding from the Better Care Fund. The Government will be making further funding available to councils for adult social care through an improved Better Care Fund, rising to £1.5 billion by 2019-20.</p> answering member constituency Warrington South answering member printed David Mowat question first answered 25/10/2016 08:08:52 answering member 4080 label Biography information for David Mowat

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2016 answer text <p>The government does not hold data on the annual revenue raised from VAT on tourism and related services in the UK and in Scotland. This is because tourism does not follow the standard classification of sectors. For example, revenue raised from travel and hotel accommodation will be a mixture of tourism and non-tourism activity.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 24/10/2016 16:12:43 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
