question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to change the tax year end to 31 March each year.

uin	HL3116
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/10/2021 answer text The Government has no plans to change the tax year end to 31 March each year. On 15 September 2021, the Office for Tax Simplification (OTS) published a report exploring a change to the date of the tax year end. The report found that, although there would be simplification benefits of moving the tax year, the transitional costs to Government and the private sector would be significant. The OTS does not consider that such a change should take place in the immediate future. answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 29/10/2021 13:48:36 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Stedman-Scott on 11 June (HL874), whether they will publish a comprehensive list of the (1) literature reviews, and (2) individual studies, on the relationship between silica or asbestos and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis that they have taken into account since the publication of the Position Paper of the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council on 3 April 2020.

uin	HL1550
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2021 answer text <p>The relationship between silica or asbestos and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis is not a current investigation of the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council. The Council carried out a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on this topic and published a fully referenced position paper and found some evidence relating crystalline silica exposures to an increased risk of ANCA-associated vasculitis. The evidence was not consistent and mostly derived from small studies which are potentially subject to selection and publication biases. Consequently, the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council considered that ANCA-associated vasculitis associated with silica exposure did not meet the criteria for prescription under the Industrial Injuries Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Regular scanning of published literature since the position paper was published has not uncovered any further significant evidence. The Industrial Injuries Advisory Council does not publish literature searches and has no plans to do so.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 08/07/2021 14:30:32 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of any evidence of the relationship between silica or asbestos and anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody associated vasculitis which has been discovered since the publication on 3 April 2020  of the report by the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council Occupational exposure to Silica or asbestos and ANCA-associated vasculitis; and what plans that Council has to review its position in that regard.

uin	HL874
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2021 answer text <p>When deciding whether to prescribe new diseases or making any changes to the appropriate prescriptions under the Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit Scheme, Ministers are guided by the recommendations of the Industrial Injuries Advisory Council (“IIAC”). IIAC is independent of Government.</p><p> </p><p>IIAC continually reviews the emerging literature, but at present nothing has come to light which might indicate the Council should change the views expressed in its Position Paper on occupational exposure to silica or asbestos and ANCA-associated vasculitis published on 3 April 2020. The Council will, of course, maintain a watching brief on this topic and may re-evaluate its position should any substantial evidence become apparent.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 11/06/2021 13:21:27 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
