answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2020 answer text <p>A longstanding feature of the UK tax system is that a person’s UK farming income is treated as one trade. When a farming business diversifies, any non-farming activities are treated as separate sources of income that need to be declared separately on the tax return. The Government recognises that this creates additional administrative burdens. However, taxing diversified rural businesses as one unit would carry a risk that uncommercial activities might be grouped together with profitable trades. The Government keeps all taxes under review but has no plans to change the current tax rules for diversified rural businesses.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/10/2020 14:58:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2020 answer text <p>The Department is working with National Health Service and the general practitioner (GP) community to deliver a trial providing swab testing in a small number of GP surgeries across England. We are working with the British Medical Association, the Royal College of General Practitioners and NHS England to deliver this in a way that works for both GPs and for their patients. Safety is our number one priority and this trial is only being delivered within the existing ‘COVID-19 safe’ working arrangements of GP surgeries which have the appropriate infection control measures in place. This does not replace any of the existing routes for accessing testing – instead it adds to the available routes. The aim of this is to make it as easy as possible for everyone who needs a swab test to get one.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 25/11/2020 14:10:19 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
