The Office for National Statistics (ONS) looked at retail trade evidence during the Olympics suspension.<\/p>

Prior to this BIS carried out a thorough review of the 1994 legislation (including a consultation and an independent economic cost benefit analysis) in 2006.<\/p>

The provision of food aid ranges from small, local provision, through to regional and national schemes. The greatest proportion is community-led provision responding to local needs. As such, the Government do not believe it is possible to keep records of the number of food banks or how many people made use of them.<\/p>

There are no plans for legislative proposals to reduce VAT on flood defence works.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government has responded to the recent floods in a decisive way by offering a package of initiatives, including a \u201crenew and repair\u201d grant of £5,000 to provide financial support for households and businesses.<\/p>
<\/p>
Details of the new funding schemes for homeowners and businesses in flood hit areas were announced on 20 February by the Prime Minister.<\/p>
