answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2016 answer text <p>The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) differential reduces by 1 penny per litre per year, which is a continuation of the approach set out by the two previous Administrations. This reflects the greater natural environmental damage caused by LPG compared with other road fuel gases as outlined in the 2003 Alternative Fuels Framework. However, like all taxes, fuel duties are kept under review with the Government announcing any changes at fiscal events.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 14/01/2016 17:51:24 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what guidance his Department gives to ensure that the implications of missing national insurance contributions are made clear to those concerned at the time they are missed.
tabling member constituency	Bath
tabling member printed	Ben Howlett
uin	12116
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2015 answer text <p>There is a range of guidance available to help a person understand the implications of not paying national insurance. A person’s record can be made up of national insurance contributions and credits from a variety of sources. When these are posted to the individual’s contributions record after the end of the tax year the individual may have insufficient contributions on their account for that year to qualify for certain benefits. These gaps in a person’s national insurance contributions record may be filled by the payment of voluntary Class 3 contributions. <br> HM Revenue and Customs has published guidance on GOV.UK that explains when the payment of voluntary Class 3 contributions may be beneficial, eligibility, rates and how and when to pay. This is available to view here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/voluntary-national-insurance-contributions" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/voluntary-national-insurance-contributions</a></p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 22/10/2015 15:08:04 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
