answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to increase the Employment Allowance (EA). The EA has already been significantly increased since its introduction in 2014. In April 2020, the Government increased the EA from £3,000 to £4,000 and focused the relief on helping smaller businesses take on extra staff, fulfil their potential, and boost employment. This increase benefitted around 510,000 businesses, of which 65,000 businesses were estimated to be taken out of paying National Insurance contribution bills entirely.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 26/11/2021 11:41:43 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2021 answer text <p>Support schemes such as the CJRS and government-backed loans kept insolvencies and business exits below normal levels throughout much of the pandemic.</p><p> </p><p>To protect businesses from aggressive creditor action during Covid enforced restrictions there was a temporary ban on Winding Up Petitions (WUP) for Covid-19-related debt. As the economy returns to normal trading conditions, it is right that creditor powers are restored.</p><p> </p><p>Insolvencies returned to pre-covid levels in September 2021, coinciding with the end of the WUP ban. It is too early to assess the full impact of support ending on business consolidation as some support schemes, such as the rent moratorium, are still in place.</p><p> </p><p>Vacancy levels are higher than normal. As a result, we expect that the employment rate should remain relatively stable in the face of business exits and consolidation in 2022-23.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately grouped question UIN 76721 question first answered 25/11/2021 10:41:05 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2021 answer text <p>The Telecommunications Infrastructure (Leasehold Property) Act gained Royal Assent in March 2021. This Act aims to address one stated policy barrier: making it easier for telecoms companies to access multi-dwelling units - such as blocks of flats - where a tenant has requested a new connection, but the landlord has not responded to requests for access rights.</p><p>The Act inserts a new Part 4A to the Electronic Communication Code which provides a process that telecommunications operators could use to gain code rights to multi-dwelling premises for a defined period. This only applies where:</p><ul><li><p>a lessee in occupation in a multi-dwelling building has requested a telecommunications service from an operator.</p></li><li><p>to connect the property the telecoms operator requires an access agreement with another person such as the landlord.</p></li><li><p>the landlord has not responded to the telecoms operator’s request for access.</p></li></ul><p>My Department published a consultation which sought views on the terms which will accompany the interim Code rights provided to operators who have successfully applied for an order made under Part 4A of the Electronic Communications Code. The consultation closed on Wednesday 4 August. Responses are being considered and the consultation response will be published in due course, with regulations laid as soon as possible.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 18/11/2021 11:46:34 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez
