answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2016 answer text <p>The Department’s National Institute for Health Research funds the Public Health Research (PHR) programme to generate evidence to inform the delivery of non-National Health Service interventions intended to improve the health of the public and reduce inequalities in health. The programme has two workstreams: commissioned and researcher-led. The PHR commissioned workstream welcomes outline proposals in response to specific research questions prioritised for their public health importance. The application for the study ‘Understanding the impact of tobacco tax increases and tobacco industry pricing on smoking behaviours and inequalities’ was received through the researcher-led workstream and therefore did not go through a tender process via the commissioned workstream. Details of the PHR application process are available on the PHR website:</p><p> </p><p>www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/phr/application-process</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman grouped question UIN 33864 question first answered 20/04/2016 15:16:16 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2016 answer text <p>The government believes that cigarette duty achieves a balance between its two fiscal goals on tobacco; to raise revenue and to protect public health.</p><p> </p><p>In considering fiscal impacts of duties, the illicit trade is an important consideration. The government is committed to tackling illicit tobacco, which undermines health and tax policy objectives and harms legitimate business. HMRC and Border Force have an established and effective strategy for tackling tobacco fraud which has seen the illicit market reduce significantly since the strategy was first launched in 2000. This has meant that, since the introduction of the tobacco duty escalator, the size of the illicit market has continued to fall.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds grouped question UIN 30627 question first answered 15/03/2016 16:29:22 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2016 answer text <p>The response to the tobacco levy consolation included the HMRC costing note and the DEFRA review of HMRC’s methodology, alongside consultation responses and the government’s summary. Since the government does not generally publish analysis of polices that do not go ahead, the publishing of these documents goes significantly beyond usual practice. HMRC also publish a methodological paper on tobacco entitled Econometric Analysis of Cigarette Consumption in the UK. This can be found on gov.uk.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 19/01/2016 17:18:47 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
