Flexi time is individually agreed with line managers to maintain working hours in line with the Working Time Regulations 1998. As there is no central record of working hours, the Attorney General’s Office has no accurate way to estimate any potential unpaid overtime worked by staff in the last 24 months without disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 08/07/2019 16:02:07 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2021 answer text <p>An independent review of the Loan Charge has already taken place. The 2019 Review, conducted by Lord Morse, concluded that it was right for the Loan Charge to remain in force and right for the Government to collect the tax due, but made a number of recommendations to reduce the impact of the policy.</p><p> </p><p>The Government accepted all but one of the 20 recommendations, and those changes are estimated to have benefitted over 30,000 individuals, removing 11,000 from the Loan Charge entirely.</p><p> </p><p>The charge on disguised remuneration loans is targeted at contrived tax avoidance schemes which seek to avoid income tax and National Insurance contributions by paying users their income in the form of loans, usually via an offshore trust. This kind of tax avoidance deprives the Exchequer of funds to deliver vital public services.</p><p> </p><p>Any loss of life is a tragedy, and the Government’s thoughts are with the families of those affected. The Government will continue to work with HMRC to consider what additional support could be provided to taxpayers who need extra help.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 09/12/2021 12:06:00 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2022 answer text <p>Recent estimates of the average length of time it takes for lorries to pass through customs at Dover have not been made. Short delays to freight movements have not been caused by new customs processes. The main causes were ship-fitting, which reduces capacity across the short straits, and higher than expected freight volumes. The Goods Vehicle Movement System and other customs systems are online and working as planned.</p><p> </p><p>The Borders are flowing, we are continuing to monitor the situation closely, and are engaging with industry groups and local stakeholders in Kent.</p><p> </p><p>We always act to preserve the flow, but we will not compromise on the security of the UK at the border. This includes fiscal security. HMRC continues to use a risk based, intelligence-led response to compliance issues working alongside Border Force.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 27/01/2022 17:57:09 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
