As the DCMS develops policy in this area, HM Treasury will work closely with them to establish the fiscal effect.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3996", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Jones"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harrogate and Knaresborough"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Jones"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-10-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-10-19T15:14:19.35Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Gaming Machines"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the potential fiscal effect is of reducing the maximum stake on fixed odds betting terminals to (a) £2, (b) £10, (c) £20, (d) £30 and (e) £100.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "107989"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/769630", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/769630/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
HM Revenue & Customs do not currently measure data at the RTI report level requested.

The government is committed to supporting businesses in the UK to invest and improve productivity.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government has introduced the Apprenticeship Levy and are committed to delivering 3 million apprenticeship starts in England by 2020. We have also announced the most ambitious post-16 reforms since the introduction of A levels 70 years ago.<\/p>

<\/p>
Revenue expenditure on provision of skills, services and software is normally fully tax deductible in the year it is purchased, receiving relief more quickly than expenditure eligible for capital allowances.<\/p>
<\/p>
The government keeps all tax reliefs under review and any proposal for future changes to a relief must be assessed for its effectiveness, wider economic impact, ability to stand-up against abuse and the cost to the exchequer.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3935", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mel Stride"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Central Devon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mel Stride"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-10-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-10-12T12:58:28.627Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-10-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Capital Allowances"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of extending the scope of investment allowances to include encouragement for investment in software, services and skills as well as conventional capital procurements.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/163", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Stephen Timms"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Ham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Stephen Timms"} ], "uin" : "106559"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/767408", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/767408/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
It is the intention of the UK Government to preserve financial services market access for Gibraltar into the UK. This will require mutual confidence in regulatory and supervisory structures, and will reflect the level of cooperation in this area. The Chief Minister of Gibraltar has confirmed that Gibraltar will meet UK standards of regulation, supervision and enforcement consistent with global standards which will allow its important financial sector to maintain its access to the UK. The UK Government and the Government of Gibraltar are in ongoing discussions on how to achieve this, looking first at insurance where cross-border trade is most significant.<\/p>
