	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>Twice a year, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) produce detailed forecasts for the coming five years, assessing the likely impact of policy decisions and expected developments in the economy. A key component of this is the welfare annually managed expenditure (AME) forecast, which estimates future government expenditure on social security benefits and tax credits.</p><p>The current welfare freeze, which was announced in 2015, runs from 2016/17 to 2019/20. As such, the cost of resuming the uprating of frozen benefits from 2020/21 is already accounted for in the welfare forecast – which combines DWP, HMRC and BEIS AME expenditure. The OBR does not routinely disaggregate the cost of uprating within the forecast.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 04/06/2019 06:46:58 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

Land used for “short rotation coppice” (i.e. cutting back a tree at intervals of less than 10 years to harvest the stems) is defined by statute as land used for farming activities. Forestry businesses on woodland where trees are felled less frequently may still qualify for this relief, where they can demonstrate that the woodland is managed on a commercial basis and with a view to the realisation of profits.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 03/07/2019 13:55:38 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
