answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC) robustly pursues all tax due unless there are compelling reasons not to do so. Where it is discovered that tax is due or uncollected because of official error, HMRC will seek payment in the usual way where statutory time limits allow. The amount of debt remitted or written off each year is small in comparison to the record level of tax receipts.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 12/09/2017 12:50:50 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>It is the responsibility and statutory duty of an employer to check that an individual has been cleared to work in direct contact with children or vulnerable adults. The Westway Assistance Centre has now closed, with many of the services transferred to the Community Assistance Centre at Bard Road. Disclosure and Barring checks are unlikely to apply to the majority of those working at the Community Assistance Centre. However, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council, as part of its volunteer strategy and future plans for the Community Assistance Centre, is encouraging all staff and volunteers to sign up to a voluntary code of conduct including Disclosure and Barring, and suitability, checks.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 12/09/2017 14:45:49 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>A competition to design and build the Type 31e General Purpose Frigate in the UK was announced on 7 September 2017. It is therefore too soon to say who the successful supplier(s) will be. The responsibility for steel procurement on major shipbuilding programmes will lie with our prime contractor(s), who take into account cost, time and quality.</p><p>However, as part of our support for British steel manufacturers, new public procurement policy guidelines have been introduced, and UK steel suppliers will be strongly encouraged to bid in line with these. Going forward, the Ministry of Defence will continue to carry out early market engagement and forecast our steel requirements for shipbuilding through the publication of the UK Government Steel Pipeline.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/09/2017 13:49:30 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
