answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2018 answer text <p><em>To support British households and businesses, at Autumn Budget 2017, the government froze fuel duty for the eighth successive year. Since public finances are based on the assumption that fuel duty will increase with RPI at every Budget, any increase below this represents a cost to the Exchequer. Successive freezes since 2011 have saved the average driver £620 compared to what it would have been with RPI increases. </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em>Since 2011, the announced freezes to fuel duty have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19. For the purposes of comparison, this is around twice as much as we spend on all NHS nurses and doctors each year.”</em></p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/06/2018 16:55:08 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2018 answer text <p>I have not received direct representations from businesses occupying Network Rail properties. I am, however, aware of the “Guardian of the Arches” campaign and the issues being raised by SMEs.</p><p> </p><p>As with all commercial property, rent reviews happen on a periodic basis as outlined in tenants’ leases; rent levels are also re-set when fixed term leases expire. This is part of Network Rail’s normal business activity. Once the business is sold, existing lease arrangements and protections will transfer to the new owner and the tenants’ rent review terms will continue as per their original lease agreement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 13/06/2018 16:44:20 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone previous answer version 63039 answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
