Changes to intermediary relief would risk causing serious disruption to the market with implications both for companies’ funding costs and for London’s position as a global listing venue. Even a small restriction could be damaging by causing a change in behaviour, resulting in less tax revenue overall.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 17/09/2015 15:18:19 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2015 answer text <p>National Health Service staff earning above £21,000 had their pay frozen during 2011/12 and 2012/13 with, since then, most staff receiving at least 1% increases. This approach to pay has helped protect jobs in the NHS and maintain services for patients.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>There is no evidence that the pay freeze affected staff morale. While the NHS Staff Survey, which provides the most comprehensive assessment of staff views about working in the NHS, does not directly measure staff morale, staff engagement, which includes staff motivation at work, staff recommending their trust as a place to work or receive treatment, and the percentage of staff able to contribute towards improvements at work, has remained high with a score of 3.76/5 in 2014 (latest available) rising from 3.68/5 in 2012 (the first year staff engagement was included).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 17/09/2015 15:58:15 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>At a meeting of the informal Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Council on 9 July Member States agreed to resettle over 22,500 people, taking account of priority regions for resettlement including North Africa, the Middle East and the Horn of Africa, focusing in particular on the countries where Regional Development and Protection Programmes are implemented. The UK made it clear that it would not be participating in an EU resettlement scheme as we already operate successful national schemes. At the extraordinary JHA Council on 14 September, the Home Secretary made clear the Government's view that resettlement from the region is an essential part of the response to the situation in Syria. All UK resettlement activity will continue to be delivered under existing national programmes, including the expanded Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme under which we expect to resettle up to 20,000 Syrians in need of protection during this Parliament.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 16/09/2015 16:21:37 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
