Following the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK agreed the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) with the EU \u2013 the first free trade agreement the EU has ever reached based on zero tariffs and zero quotas, helping to support businesses.<\/p>

The first round of the Levelling Up Fund will invest £1.7 billion in 105 local infrastructure projects across the UK<\/p>


The first round allocations for each nation are as follows: Scotland - 10.1%; Wales - 7.2%; Northern Ireland - 2.9%.<\/p>

The Levelling Up Fund prospectus stated that at least 9% of total UK allocations were to be set aside for Scotland; 5% for Wales; and 3% for Northern Ireland.<\/p>

There was significant interest in the first round of the Fund. Whilst some bids have not been successful, there will be further funding opportunities through a second round of the Levelling Up Fund which will open in spring 2022. More information on this will be available in due course.<\/p>

On World Cancer Day, 4 February 2022, the Secretary of State held a roundtable discussion with several cancer charities, followed by a speech on cancer in England. The Department also launched a Call for Evidence on World Cancer Day, which will feed into a new 10-year cancer plan to be published later this year.<\/p>

Public awareness campaigns have been delivered under the NHS England and NHS Improvement \u2018Help Us Help You\u2019 umbrella, which is designed to encourage more effective use of the NHS by encouraging people to get help in the right place at the right time and raise awareness of cancer symptoms. Three new awareness campaigns, tackling cervical screening, prostate cancer, and barriers to seeking treatment, will be launched over the next month. The phases of the campaign that have run to date have contributed to the high levels of urgent cancer referrals the NHS has seen since March 2021.<\/p>

The Department\u2019s communications team also secured 14 national stories, 14 regional pieces, and 18 online stories.<\/p>

The Covid-19 support funds and the Loan Charge are two distinct polices.<\/p>

In relation to the Covid-19 support funds, throughout the pandemic, the Government\u2019s number one priority has been to protect jobs and livelihoods while also supporting businesses and public services across the UK.<\/p>

The overwhelming majority of people that claimed Covid-19 support did so legitimately. However, HMRC are aware that mistakes can happen, which is why they are supporting people who made a mistake to correct it. Those who keep money claimed from any of the Covid-19 support schemes despite knowing they were not entitled to it face having to repay up to double the amount they received, plus interest, and potentially criminal prosecution in the most serious of cases.<\/p>

The Loan Charge was announced at Budget 2016 and was a new tax charge on disguised remuneration loan balances outstanding on 5 April 2019. The Government recognises the Loan Charge can have a significant impact. Anyone who is worried about being able to pay their Loan Charge liability should contact HMRC. They may be able to agree an instalment arrangement based on their financial circumstances.<\/p>
