	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2020 answer text <p>The temporary £20 per week increase to Universal Credit and Working Tax Credits was introduced specifically to provide support to those who have seen their income fall as a result of the pandemic. This is just one part of a wide-ranging package of support the Government has provided to protect people's jobs and incomes. We are continuing to respond to the economic situation as it evolves and are keeping all measures under review. <br> <br> Making the £20 per week increase permanent would require a substantial ongoing increase in borrowing or tax rises, with 2020-21 spending on working-age benefits set to be the highest since records began as a share of national income.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Steve Barclay question first answered 05/11/2020 13:46:09 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

	uin	115621
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2020 answer text <p>Where employers receive public funding for staff costs, and that funding is continuing, the Government expects employers to use that money to continue to pay staff in the usual fashion, and correspondingly not to furlough them through the CJRS. In a small number of cases, for example where organisations are not primarily funded by the Government and whose staff cannot be redeployed to assist with the coronavirus response, the extended CJRS may be appropriate for some staff.</p><p> </p><p>BEIS Safer Workplaces guidance advises that workers who can work effectively from home should do so over the winter. Specific to clinically extremely vulnerable workers, the guidance also outlines steps employers can take to suit their and their employees’ unique circumstances, including changing roles or adjusting work patterns. Employers can be furloughed under the CJRS when they are unable to work because they are shielding in line with public health guidance.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, the Government has ensured that employees who were on an employer’s PAYE payroll before 31 October 2020 can be claimed for under the CJRS extension. Therefore, those who started work after the initial CJRS began and are required to shield will be supported. In cases where their employer chooses not to furlough them under the CJRS and does not have other suitable policies in place, Statutory Sick Pay is available as a safety net.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/11/2020 17:01:52 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

It has had contractors on site this week to fix this and has reported an improvement, with more work to take place shortly. HMRC will be carefully monitoring whether the changes implemented have been effective.</p><p> </p><p>Once fully implemented, we expect the length of time the lights remain on after the last detected movement will be reduced from 30 minutes to 10 minutes. In addition, after 8:15pm, the lights will be switched off with activation after that time only if movement is detected and will remain on for 5 minutes. HMRC is also reviewing out of hours operating procedures to further reduce energy usage.</p><p> </p><p>Since April 2022, when Unity Square opened, monthly electricity expenditure for the building, including lighting, is as follows.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Apr-2022</p></td><td><p>£87,488.78</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>May-2022</p></td><td><p>£79,107.16</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jun-2022</p></td><td><p>£86,343.35</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Jul-2022</p></td><td><p>£106,209.28</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Aug-2022</p></td><td><p>£113,345.46</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sep-2022</p></td><td><p>£85,311.17</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>HMRC’s core hours are 7am until 8pm.
