	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2022 answer text <p>The Government is committed to implementing entitlement to Neonatal Leave and Pay as soon as possible. HMRC cannot begin delivery until the Neonatal Care (Leave and Pay) Bill has Royal Assent. Provisions in the Bill bring this new statutory payment within scope of HMRC’s legal functions, giving it the authority to incur costs.</p><p> </p>HMRC will need to make changes to their IT systems for the administration, payment and reporting of Neonatal Pay, as well as supporting customers with a calculator, a new suite of online forms and updated guidance. HMRC also need to draw up and publish requirements for external developers, who will need to build Neonatal Leave and Pay into their payroll software products so that employers can administer Neonatal Leave and Pay through payroll. HMRC is working closely with BEIS to establish exact delivery timelines on the basis that Royal Assent is expected in Spring 2023. answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 08/11/2022 17:53:37 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	uin	203928
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission has powers to impose a variable monetary penalty where it is satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that a person has committed a prescribed offence or contravention under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000. The Commission takes decisions on sanctions in line with its Enforcement Policy. This document was the result of a public consultation and is available on its website; I have arranged for copies to be placed in the Library.</p><p>The Commission has called for an increase to the maximum penalty it can impose on political parties and others for offences or contraventions under the political finance rules. The Commission’s view is that the current maximum fine of £20,000 per offence could be seen as a cost of doing business, and that monetary penalties should be more proportionate to the income and expenditure of larger and well-funded parties and campaigners.</p> answering member constituency Houghton and Sunderland South answering member printed Bridget Phillipson question first answered 07/01/2019 09:25:21 answering member 4046 label Biography information for Bridget Phillipson

Parliament made it an offence to deliver, without reasonable excuse, donation reports that are inaccurate or miss the statutory deadline.
