question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the Onward report entitled Going Green, published in August 2022, what assessment he has made for the implications of his policies of the recommendation to provide a rebate of 50 per cent of stamp duty costs if homebuyers install energy-efficiency measures and heat pumps within 24 months of moving into a new property.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a transaction tax paid at the point of sale by purchasers of property or land in England and Northern Ireland. On 23 September 2022, the Government increased the nil-rate threshold for SDLT from £125,000 to £250,000 for most purchasers, and from £300,000 to £425,000 for first-time buyers. This means around 43 per cent of purchases a year will not be liable to any SDLT. Introducing incentives based on the installation of energy efficiency measures would add significant complexity to the operation of the current system.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 27/10/2022 12:47:11 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2022 answer text <p>The Government understands that people across the UK and especially the most vulnerable members of society, such as those suffering from long-term health conditions and disabilities, are worried about the rising cost of living. That is why the Government is taking decisive action to get households through this winter, while ensuring we act in a fiscally responsible way.</p><p> </p><p>If individuals have extra-costs arising from their diabetes, then they may qualify for disability benefits such as Personal Independence Payments (PIP). People in receipt of extra-costs disability benefits such as PIP or Disability Living Allowance (DLA) will receive a one-off Disability Cost of Living Payment of £150 from 20th September, to help with the extra costs disabled people are facing. The DWP has already processed around 6 million such payments.</p><p> </p><p>A one-off £650 Cost of Living Payment is also being delivered for those on means-tested benefits. Individuals who have limited ability to work because of their health condition, and are in receipt of means-tested benefits such as income-related Employment and Support Allowance or the Universal Credit Health top up, are eligible for this support.</p><p> </p><p>Those living with a long-term health condition, such as diabetes, can also benefit from other forms of non-means-tested support which the Government is providing to assist with UK households’ energy bills. We have taken decisive action to support millions of households and businesses with rising energy costs this winter through the Energy Price Guarantee. In addition to the Energy Price Guarantee, millions of the most vulnerable households will receive further support this year through the £400 Energy Bills Support Scheme. The £150 Council Tax rebate will also mean that all households in Council Tax bands A-D will receive a rebate, which will be delivered by Local Authorities. Lastly, to support households who need further help or who are not eligible for elements of the wider package of support, the Government is also providing an extra £500 million of local support to help with the cost of essentials, via the Household Support Fund.</p><p> </p><p>We are continuing to keep the situation under review and are focusing support on the most vulnerable whilst ensuring we act in a fiscally responsible way.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 24/10/2022 10:37:34 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
