answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p><strong>The Government keeps all decisions on tax policy under review. In addition, the Government has recently devolved a range of responsibilities and funding through the Localism Act 2011 and have decentralised local government finance through the Local Government Finance Act 2012. Any further fiscal devolution to sub-national authorities in England would represent a significant change to the existing tax landscape with potentially significant legal, economic and constitutional implications. </strong></p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 24/06/2014 16:23:30 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>The UK implements EU and UN sanctions against Iran – it does not independently impose financial sanctions on Iran. The UK is firmly committed to ensuring compliance, including working with partners to freeze assets, authorising and monitoring relevant transactions, and investigating alleged sanctions breaches. EU financial measures apply within the EU and to EU nationals and entities rather than directly to Iranian businesses based outside of the EU. However, Her Majesty's Treasury continue to ensure that the assets of designated Iranian entities, held in the UK, remain frozen.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Hugh Robertson question first answered 17/06/2014 08:18:34 answering member 1415 label Biography information for Sir Hugh Robertson
