uin	216533
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>HMRC has no plans to establish a dedicated VAT helpline for the offices of Members of Parliament. HMRC receives far fewer enquiries from the public and MPs on business taxes such as VAT than for personal tax and benefits issues. In general, MPs seem content to write to HMRC about business tax issues or to use the existing call centre lines. This best meets the need of business taxpayers and MPs as often the issues are detailed and complex.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 04/12/2014 17:31:49 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

The project is still in the planning phase, so it is too early to estimate its value. However, the developer, Horizon Nuclear Power, has stated that it expects hundreds of millions of pounds to be invested in the local economy.
