uin	HL4608
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government is clear that decisions on how money should be spent in the local area are best made by local authorities. Local Government spending power is therefore not ringfenced. This allows local authorities the freedom to prioritise and make their own decisions on spending. Table 2.17 on page 100 of the Spending Review shows a cash terms increase in local authority spending. This includes a £1.5 billion grant especially for social care within Local Government DEL and the Office for Budget Responsibility’s assessment of the increase likely to be raised through the social care precept within Locally Financed Expenditure.</p><br /> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 23/12/2015 10:34:24 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley

tabling member constituency	Newcastle upon Tyne Central
tabling member printed	Chi Onwurah
uin	20327
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/01/2016 answer text <p>Over the course of the previous Parliament, the main rate of corporation tax was cut from 28% to 20%. The small profits rate was also cut to 20% and the two rates were merged to simplify the tax regime. Overall the cuts delivered since 2010 will save businesses £10bn a year from 2016-17. In this Parliament the Government is going to go further, and cut the rate to 19% in 2017 and 18% in 2020, further benefitting over one million companies across the economy.</p><br /><p>Given that a number of factors impact on tax receipts from individual sectors it is difficult to estimate precisely how much tax the manufacturing sector has saved as a result of these cuts in corporation tax. But according to HM Revenue and Customs’ corporation tax statistics, published at the link below, over the past five years the UK manufacturing sector has paid an average of £5bn a year in corporation tax. So it is clear that the sector will have benefitted substantially from the tax cuts delivered since 2010, and will benefit further from the reductions to come in this parliament.</p><br /><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/456459/Corporation_Tax_Statistics_August_2015.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/456459/Corporation_Tax_Statistics_August_2015.pdf</a></p><br /> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 05/01/2016 15:29:24 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
