	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2020 answer text <p>In the February 2019 consultation on the plastic packaging tax, the Government proposed that the tax would apply to plastic packaging in the same way as in the Packaging Producer Responsibility scheme, in order to ensure that the tax is clear and simple. This would mean that the tax would include both recyclable and single use packaging. The vast majority of respondents to the consultation agreed with this approach. The Government is considering the most appropriate definitions for plastic packaging and will set out next steps in due course.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also developing a reformed Packaging Producer Responsibility scheme to encourage businesses to design and use plastic packaging that is easier to recycle.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 06/03/2020 09:26:56 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	uin	130765
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2021 answer text <p>The objective of the Job Retention Bonus (JRB) was to incentivise employers to retain employees between November and the end of January through a £1,000 bonus paid to the employer. The extension of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) allows employers to do that until the end of April by covering 80% of the furloughed employees’ wages. The policy intent of the JRB therefore fell away with the extension of the CJRS. The Government will set out details of how a revised retention incentive will work in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/01/2021 13:08:06 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
