tabling member printed	Lord Weir of Ballyholme
uin	HL9861
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>Social security and the provision of benefits is a devolved matter and the responsible department is the Northern Ireland Department for Communities which has received a budget allocation of £862 million for the 2023-24 financial year. This budget allocation does not include additional funding for Northern Ireland’s existing social security mitigations which are more generous than the rest of the UK. The UK Government continues to explore, with the Northern Ireland Civil Service, the options for increasing budget sustainability to help ensure that public services in Northern Ireland are affordable on an ongoing basis.</p> answering member printed Lord Caine question first answered 11/09/2023 11:07:11 answering member 4581 label Biography information for Lord Caine

uin	HL9863
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>The requested statistics are unavailable as there is no register of UK “businesses.”</p><p>There is no mechanism to relocate a UK limited company between jurisdictions. A company must maintain a registered office in the part of the UK in which it was originally incorporated. It is in this jurisdiction that the company remains legally domiciled regardless of where in the UK it might carry out its business activities. To relocate a limited company a new entity would need to be formed and the previous entity closed. No connection between the two would be recorded on the Register of Companies.</p> answering member printed Lord Caine question first answered 18/09/2023 10:56:08 answering member 4581 label Biography information for Lord Caine

uin	197600
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>The Secretary of State and his officials engaged intensively with the Northern Ireland Civil Service to set the Northern Ireland Budget for the 2022-2023 and 2023-24 financial years. The Secretary of State has consistently prioritised funding for health, allocating £7.28 billion in 2022/23 to the Department of Health, representing an increase of £228m above 2021/22 spending which included significant COVID-19 funding, and £7.3 billion in 2024-2-25, an increase of £20 million above 2022/23. In the absence of an Executive, it is for each Northern Ireland department to manage its funding from within the allocated budget.</p><p>Whilst the Secretary of State has taken action to ensure governance can continue, including through setting two Northern Ireland budgets, this position is not sustainable. The Secretary of State has used his powers in the Northern Ireland (Interim Arrangements) Act 2023 to commission advice from the Northern Ireland Civil Service on the options for budget sustainability including options to raise additional revenue which is needed to progress much needed and long-promised public service transformation. It remains the UK Government’s firm view that the right people to set a budget and make spending decisions are locally elected politicians in a fully functioning devolved administration.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wycombe answering member printed Mr Steve Baker question first answered 11/09/2023 08:58:01 answering member 4064 label Biography information for Mr Steve Baker
