uin	277616
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/07/2019 answer text The proceeds from the Sukuk, like the proceeds from the wider gilt programme, flow into the consolidated fund. This is used for general expenditure, including expenditure on infrastructure. The government considers the core gilt program rather than the Sukuk to be the most cost-effective way of raising money for expenditure, including that of infrastructure projects. The main purpose behind the decision to issue a second Sukuk is to reaffirm the government’s commitment to the UK being the Western hub for Islamic finance, whilst also providing high-quality liquid assets to UK-based Islamic banks. answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen grouped question UIN 277781 question first answered 22/07/2019 14:01:35 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

This analysis is available on gov.uk.</p><p> </p><p>While the analysis does not seek to assess the effect of non-tariff barriers on consumer prices specifically, the lower GDP in the modelled no deal scenario compared to today's arrangements reflects the combined impact of trade frictions, including non-tariff barriers, on households' purchasing power as well as on firms' gross output and their productivity. The White Paper scenario would deliver significantly higher economic output compared to no deal.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 21/01/2019 16:22:55 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
