uin	121482
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2018 answer text <p>A large proportion of funding from the NPIF – established at Autumn Statement 2016 and expanded to £31bn at Autumn Budget 2017 – has already been allocated to its four target sectors: transport, housing, digital communications and R&amp;D. Breakdowns within these sectors can be found on page 44 of the 2017 Autumn Budget document. Specific projects are selected through a variety of mechanisms that are tailored to achieve programme goals and ensure high value for money.</p><p> </p><p>Funding allocations from the NPIF are not specifically made by region. However the NPIF is intended to fund projects that help to boost productivity and prosperity throughout the UK and across regions. For example, at the Autumn Budget 2017, the government made an allocation specifically benefitting the North East, announcing £337m of new funding from the NPIF to replace rolling stock on the Tyne &amp; Wear Metro. It also established a new £1.7bn Transforming Cities Fund. This funding will be widely distributed, with £840m of per capita funding to be transferred to the six Mayoral Combined Authorities with directly elected mayors, and £840m open for competition for transport projects in cities. These announcements and others demonstrate a commitment to invest to improve productivity in all UK regions.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2018 14:16:03 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2017 answer text <p>The large business corporation tax gap relates to those cases where it was not possible to reach agreement on the amount of tax to be paid. Tax on technical risks not subject to litigation are excluded from the tax gap because for these cases agreement is expected or has been reached between HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the customer in line with the Litigation and Settlement Strategy. HMRC collects the tax due under the law in accordance with the published Litigation and Settlement Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 21/03/2017 11:54:45 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
