answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>As we all learn to live with COVID-19, public health experts will manage COVID-19 like other respiratory illnesses with a focus on protecting those at highest risk.</p><p>Individual education and childcare providers continue to have responsibility for putting in place proportionate control measures in compliance with health and safety law, to ensure they meet their health and safety duties. Most infectious diseases in education settings can be managed by following the advice in the UK Health Security Agency’s (UKHSA) health protection in schools and other childcare facilities guidance, and by encouraging students and staff to follow UKHSA’s advice for those who have symptoms or test positive. The guidance can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-protection-in-schools-and-other-childcare-facilities" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/health-protection-in-schools-and-other-childcare-facilities</a>.</p><p>The department has also updated the Emergency Planning and Response guidance for education and childcare providers to reflect what we have learned over the past two years. This guidance sets out how education and childcare providers should plan for and deal with emergencies, including the possibility of future significant public health incidents.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2021 answer text In order to support the cash flow and viability of around 150,000 businesses and to protect over 2.4 million jobs, the Government has applied a temporary reduced rate of VAT (5 per cent) to goods and services supplied by the tourism and hospitality sectors, which will now end on 30 September 2021. On 1 October 2021, a new reduced rate of 12.5 per cent will be introduced for these goods and services to help affected businesses manage the transition back to the standard rate. The new rate will end on 31 March 2022.<p> </p><p>The Government has been clear that the reduced rate of VAT is a temporary measure. It is right that, as restrictions are lifted and demand for goods and services in the tourism and hospitality sectors increases, this relief is reduced and eventually removed in order to rebuild and strengthen the public finances. This policy will cost the Exchequer over £7 billion and, while the Government keeps all taxes under review, there are no plans to make the reduced rate of VAT permanent.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 41940 question first answered 08/09/2021 11:48:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
