There is no practical way to apply the tax to just hot drink cups, meaning that a tax would have to be placed on all types of disposable plastic cup, including plastic and plastic-lined cups used for cold drinks. The government has concluded that there is not good evidence that a tax would lead to a significant increase in reuse for these at this time.<\/p>
<\/p>
Businesses are already taking steps to reduce the impact of disposable cups. The government expects industry to go further and will return to the issue if sufficient progress is not made.<\/p>"}

The Chancellor has been clear that raising productivity is the only way to expand the economy in the long term. Doing so will mean encouraging growth in the manufacturing sector, boosting the adoption of technology and enabling more British firms to export. That\u2019s why we increased the National Productivity Investment Fund to £37bn at Budget 2018, and have announced a wide range of productivity enhancing measures at previous fiscal events. Most recently this has included £81 million for a new extreme photonics centre in Oxfordshire, £45 million for the European Bioinformatics Institute, and £79 million for a new supercomputer to be hosted at Edinburgh University.<\/p>

The Treasury welcomes the investment in the UK delivered through the awarding of rolling stock contracts to UK based train manufacturers. Rolling stock procurement is undertaken through fair and open competition, usually by train operators as part of their franchise commitments. As such the Treasury has not made any such assessments.<\/p>"}

The Prime Minister has agreed to an extension to Article 50 until 31 October 2019 at the latest. This eliminates the risk of a near-term economic disruption as a result of leaving the EU without a deal before that date.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, a responsible government must plan for every eventuality, including a no deal scenario, that\u2019s why we\u2019ve allocated £4bn for Brexit preparations.<\/p>
<\/p>
Meanwhile, as part of modern industrial strategy, we are taking action to ensure that the UK remains one of the most competitive locations in the world for manufacturing investment.<\/p>"}
