question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will increase the £450,000 cap of the Lifetime ISA for London residents given that the average property price in London is £667,000.
tabling member constituency	Putney
tabling member printed	Fleur Anderson
uin	160559
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2022 answer text <p>The Lifetime ISA is intended to support younger people to save for their first home or for later life by offering a generous government bonus of 25% on up to £4,000 of savings each year. These funds, including the government bonus, can be used to purchase a first home up to the value of £450,000.</p><p> </p><p>This price cap remains above the average price paid by first-time buyers for all regions of the UK, except for inner London where property prices are distorted by boroughs with significant property values. The Government therefore considers that the £450,000 price cap is suitable to support the majority of first-time buyers across the UK, who typically purchase less expensive properties than other buyers, while also ensuring sustainable public finances. The most recent Office for Budget Responsibility forecast stated that bonus payments will have an exchequer cost of £3.5 billion between 2021 and 2027. The price cap ensures that this significant investment of public money is more precisely targeted towards households that may find it more difficult to get onto the property ladder.</p><p> </p><p>First-time buyers who can purchase a home valued over £450,000 are likely to have an income significantly above that of the average household in the UK and are therefore more likely to be able to purchase a first home without the support of this scheme.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government continues to keep all aspects of savings policy under review.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 28/04/2022 07:06:16 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2022 answer text <p>Following consultation in 2020, the Chancellor confirmed at Spring Budget 2021 that the Government would remove the entitlement to use red diesel from most sectors from April 2022. This more fairly reflects the negative environmental impact of the emissions produced and helps to ensure that the tax system incentivises the development and adoption of greener alternative technologies.</p><p> </p><p>The Government did not believe that the cases made by sectors that will not retain their red diesel entitlement outweighed the need to ensure fairness between the different users of diesel fuels and the Government’s environmental objectives.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 28/04/2022 07:19:05 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

uin	159079
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2022 answer text <p>While the Government keeps all aspects of savings policy under review, the Help to Buy: ISA scheme aims to help those struggling to save enough to get onto the housing ladder at the lower end of the market. The property price cap of £250,000 for those properties outside London (£450,000 within London) therefore allows the Government to target support at the people the scheme is intended to help across the country.</p><p /><p>The latest statistics show that since the scheme was launched in 2015, 460,567 property completions have been supported through the scheme with a mean property value of £175,680, compared to an average first-time buyer house price of £230,593.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 27/04/2022 12:30:43 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
