The Government continues to work towards leaving the EU with a deal, which will allow us to honour the referendum, while also protecting jobs and our economy. The government is committed to providing the right economic environment for businesses to invest and grow.<\/p>
<\/p>
Businesses will also benefit from recently announced tax measures such as the introduction of a new allowance for the construction costs of new qualifying non-residential structures and buildings, which will provide billions of pounds of additional relief for UK businesses. The Government has also increased the Annual Investment Allowance from £200,000 to £1 million for two years, significantly increasing the amount of relief businesses receive on qualifying investment in the first year.<\/p>
<\/p>
Additionally, our modern Industrial Strategy sets out a clear plan for how we can boost productivity throughout the UK, including increased public investment in infrastructure and R&D. At Budget 2018 we increased the size of the National Productivity Investment Fund to £37 billion and since 2010 there has been £600 billion of capital investment including in roads, rail, digital and skills.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4320", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Robert Jenrick"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newark"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Jenrick"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-12T16:39:13.37Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Business: Investment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he plans to take to increase business investment in the UK after the UK leaves the EU.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/373", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir David Davis"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Haltemprice and Howden"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr David Davis"} ], "uin" : "240505"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1107738", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1107738/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
At Spring Statement 2018, the Government held a call for evidence to better understand the role of cash and digital payments in the new economy. We will publish a summary of responses to this document in due course which, along with the recent Access to Cash review, will add to the body of evidence highlighting the continued importance of cash.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government recognises the continued importance of cash, especially for more vulnerable members of society and the elderly. The Government will take steps to safeguard access to cash for those who need it, while continuing to support digital payment methods.<\/p>

The pump prices for petrol and diesel are affected by a number of factors including the oil price and exchange rate. It is important for motorists to be confident that they are being treated fairly, and that when wholesale costs of fuel come down, these reductions are passed on transparently, and without unnecessary delay.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government believes this is achieved through effective market competition. In 2013, the Office of Fair Trading found that competition in the road fuels sector was working relatively effectively, although a competition problem was identified in the market for road fuels on motorways, for which action was taken at Autumn Statement 2014.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government will continue to make it clear to industry that it expects it to pass any savings that result from lower oil prices onto customers.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has also frozen fuel duty in every year from 2011 to lessen the impact of high fuel prices on households and business costs. By the end of 2019-20, fuel duty will have been frozen for nine successive years, saving the average car driver £1000 compared to the pre-2010 fuel duty escalator plans.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4320", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Robert Jenrick"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newark"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Jenrick"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-04-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-04-04T13:59:35.387Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-03-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Oil: Prices"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what analysis his Department has carried out on the correlation between changes in crude oil prices and changes in petrol and diesel prices paid by motorist at the pumps.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4675", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kirstene Hair"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Angus"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kirstene Hair"} ], "uin" : "237769"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 6, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
