	uin	HL2727
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2014 answer text <p>At the end of the First World War, the debt owed to the United States by the United Kingdom amounted to around £850 million. Repayments of the debt were made between 1923 and 1931. In 1931, President Hoover of the United States proposed a one year moratorium on all war debts, which allowed extensive international discussions on the general problems of debt repayment to be held. However, no satisfactory agreement was reached. In the absence of such an agreement, no payments have been made to, or received from, other nations since 1934. At the time, the United Kingdom was owed more by other nations than the outstanding principal it owed the United States.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For this reason, liabilities and assets arising from WW1 have not been listed on the UK government’s balance sheet since 1944-45.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 20/11/2014 17:03:29 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2014 answer text <p>This government has taken a wide range of action to tackle corporate tax avoidance over this parliament, sending out a clear message that large businesses need to pay their fair share. We have closed down numerous loopholes and have led efforts at the G20 and OECD to reform the international rules that some multinationals exploit to avoid tax. Work is continuing at pace with our international partners to finalise recommendations and to deliver those reforms.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside this we have invested heavily in Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) tax compliance activities, including a £30 million funding provided at Autumn Statement 2012 to increase work on identifying and challenging multinationals’ transfer pricing arrangements and further strengthening risk assessment capability across the large business sector. As a result of close monitoring and compliance work HMRC recovered around £31 billion in tax revenues from large UK businesses between April 2010 and March 2014. In addition, this year HMRC launched a new dedicated Large Business directorate to deal closely with the tax affairs of the 2,100 largest businesses in the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 19/11/2014 14:02:54 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
