The table shows the cost of a £100 increase and a 10% increase in the personal allowance. This can be used to scale the proportionate cost to raise the personal allowance to a level where indexation would take it to £12,500 by 2020-21.<\/p>

Badgers culled under licence in Somerset and Gloucestershire in 2013 and 2014 were not routinely tested for tuberculosis (TB), since this research had already been carried out under the Random Badger Cull Trial (RBCT).<\/p>
However, testing of badgers between 1998 and 2005 via the Randomised Badger Culling Trial and Road Traffic Accident surveys provided evidence of the typical prevalence of TB in badgers in areas of high incidence of TB in cattle. TB was found in around one third of all badgers in these areas.<\/p>
During the culls, four badger carcasses were tested on occasion at the specific request of landowners. The tests were carried out by independent veterinary surgeons. Of the four carcasses, one carcass was confirmed to be infected with Bovine TB.<\/p>

The Government has specifically supported the clinical application of stem cells as part of an overall strategy to develop regenerative medicine. Regenerative medicine includes a wide range of cellular therapies including the use of stem cells to promote the regrowth of bone tissue. Regenerative medicine is one of the eight great technologies identified for targeted investment and where the United Kingdom has the potential to become a world-leader. Earlier this year the Regenerative Medicine Expert Group (RMEG) published their final report. This report sets out an NHS regenerative medicine delivery readiness strategy and action plan. The RMEG report sets out a series of recommendations and these will form the basis of the ongoing strategy to support regenerative medicine.<\/p>

Taking paracetamol in quantities which exceed the recommended dose is extremely dangerous. It can cause irreparable damage to the liver and can be fatal. All medicines, including those bought over-the-counter, must be used responsibly and as advised in the information provided with the medicine. Packs of paracetamol have warnings that medical advice should be sought immediately in the event of an overdose, even if the person feels well.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There is a restriction on the quantity of paracetamol tablets/capsules in a pack (16 tablets for sale from general retail outlets, e.g. a supermarket and 32 tablets for sale from pharmacists).<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
There is also guidance for retailers not to sell more than two packs in one transaction to strongly discourage multiple sales and multibuy promotions. It is illegal to sell more than 100 tablets or capsules of either paracetamol or aspirin in any one retail transaction. Retailers are advised to exercise their judgement in deciding whether it is appropriate to sell to a child, bearing in mind that medicines are labelled to the effect that they should be kept out of reach and sight of children and that many products are not recommended for use by children.<\/p>

In addition to our core Tax Credit advisers, this year HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has recruited more than 2,000 staff to its customer service teams and plans to have the majority of them in place and operational by end of June 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Alongside this, a further 1,500 extra staff from across HMRC are moving temporarily to support customer services in the run-up to the Tax Credits renewals deadline on 31 July. This movement of teams across HMRC in now a normal feature of how the department works: the tax year features distinct peaks in customer demand, with weekly calls varying from a few hundred thousand to well over a million, and so it would be highly inefficient to resource its teams to peak demand all year round.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
This year, Tax Credits customers can also renew or report changes of circumstances online at: www.gov.uk/renewtaxcredits<\/a> and HMRC is actively encouraging them to do so.<\/p> <\/p>"}
