question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government plans to treat the replacement by residential landlords of high carbon heating systems in rental accommodation with low carbon systems such as heat pumps as tax deductible repairs.
tabling member constituency	Thirsk and Malton
tabling member printed	Kevin Hollinrake
uin	60464
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2021 answer text The Government has recently announced support to incentivise the installation of low carbon heating as part of the Net Zero Strategy. The new £450 million Boiler Upgrade Scheme will support the uptake of heat pumps, which we are confident will soon be a cost-effective alternative to oil heating. The Home Upgrade Grant also provides support to landlords with low-income tenants in off gas-grid properties to install energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating, subject to a minimum contribution. The Government also maintains a reduced rate of VAT of 5 per cent for the installation of many energy saving materials, including ground source and air source heat pumps, subject to certain conditions. HM Treasury keeps the tax treatment of deductions for landlords under review. answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 29/10/2021 12:51:20 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

uin	38329
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2021 answer text <p>The Serious Fraud Office (SFO), by its specialist nature, takes on a relatively small number of large, complex economic crime cases which can take several years to investigate. This means that small changes in case numbers can lead to significant fluctuations in in the SFO’s conviction rate.</p><p> </p><p>Against this context, in 2020-21 the SFO’s conviction rate for individuals was 67 percent, which included three convictions in the $1.7bn Unaoil bribery case and one guilty plea in the Petrofac bribery case. No corporations were brought to trial in 2020-21. The SFO also secured two Deferred Prosecution Agreements against corporates in 2020-21, returning £47.4m in fines and penalties to the UK taxpayer and compelling these organisations to reform.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 10/09/2021 11:02:47 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2021 answer text <p>The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has robust assurance processes in place to ensure effective decision-making on whether to open, continue, or close a criminal investigation into a corporate entity. This includes the SFO’s Case Evaluation Board (CEB) and Case Review Panels (CRPs), both of which are chaired by the SFO General Counsel.</p><p> </p><p>The CEB reviews intelligence submissions against the Director’s Statement of Principle and assesses strategic and tactical risks, costs, and resource implications to make an informed recommendation to the Director on whether to initiate or decline an investigation. CRPs seek to scrutinise all cases at least twice a year to ensure that sound judgement and appropriate investigative and legal expertise are being used in cases, and that cases are progressing appropriately and comply with all relevant legal and operational guidance.</p><p> </p><p>While the SFO exercises independence in its individual casework decisions, I am regularly updated by the Director and her senior leadership team on the SFO’s casework.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 10/09/2021 11:06:29 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
