	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2023 answer text <p>Landfill Tax encourages waste, including plastic waste, to be diverted from landfill towards more sustainable waste management options such as recycling and recovery. There are carbon benefits associated with managing waste more sustainably. Since 2000, local authority waste sent to landfill in England has fallen by over 90%.</p><p>In addition, the Plastic Packaging Tax encourages businesses to use more recycled plastic in packaging, which will drive more collection and recycling of plastic waste. At Budget 2020, the government estimated the tax would increase use of recycled plastic in packaging by around 40% in 2022-23 - equal to carbon savings of nearly 200,000 tonnes.</p><p>The government considers the climate and environmental impacts of relevant tax changes and at Spring Budget, published climate assessments in relevant Tax Information and Impact Notes.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 18/05/2023 14:49:17 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2022 answer text <p>The Energy Price Guarantee is a scheme that caps the unit price households pay for electricity and gas. This means that a typical household in Great Britain pays an average £2500 a year on their energy bill over this winter.

The objective of the review, which is not a formal Government consultation, is to design a new approach that will cost the taxpayer significantly less whilst ensuring enough support for those in need.</p><p> </p><p>The Chancellor will announce the support which will be in effect from April 2023 in due course.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 16/11/2022 08:46:42 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge
