answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2024 answer text <p>Draught Relief, introduced under the new alcohol duty system, provides a reduction in the duty on draught products sold in on-trade venues such as pubs and restaurants and helps to level the playing field between these venues and off-trade venues such as supermarkets, allowing them to price their on-trade products more competitively.</p><p> </p><p>To ensure the relief is targeted at the on-trade, the Government has prevented repackaging of products that have received Draught Relief for off-site consumption. The core objective of the relief is to recognise the cultural importance of pubs and other on-trade venues as community hubs and to encourage responsible drinking in supervised settings. Providing reduced rates of duty for beers consumed at home is not consistent with the objectives of the relief.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As with all taxes, the Government keeps the alcohol duty system under review during its yearly Budget process.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 23/02/2024 08:57:33 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>The government is committed to improving access to financial services and recognises that access to a transactional bank account is key to enabling people to manage their money on a day-to-day basis effectively, securely and confidently. That is why the Payment Account Regulations 2015 require the largest UK banking providers to provide fee-free Basic Bank Accounts to anyone who doesn’t already have a current account</p><p> </p><p>These regulations explicitly include consumers with no fixed address and asylum seekers. Firms will still need to carry out checks to verify consumers’ identities when they first open an account but are encouraged to be flexible regarding the types of documents they will accept, such as a referral letter from a homeless shelter.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also worked with the financial services industry to provide guidance to support firms to open basic bank accounts to refugees coming to the UK from specific countries, such as arrivals from Afghanistan and Ukraine. To date, over 75,000 basic bank accounts have been opened by Ukrainian nationals arriving in the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 11/09/2023 13:06:23 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith

In considering changes to the AMAP rate, the Government has to balance the responsible management of public finances, which fund our essential public services with support for individuals.</p><p> </p><p>Petrol and diesel prices continue to be volatile given the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and inflation remains high. So, at Spring Budget 2023 the Government announced continued support for households and businesses by maintaining the rates of fuel duty at the levels set on 23 March 2022 for an additional 12 months, by extending the temporary 5 pence fuel duty cut and cancelling the planned inflation increase for 2023-2024. That represents a saving for all drivers this year of overall around £5billion and for the average car driver around £100.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/07/2023 07:44:41 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
