uin	129893
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2018 answer text <p>My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State has established the Carillion Taskforce, to advise on the impact on small businesses and employees affected by Carillion insolvency. The Taskforce’s attendees included representatives from leading business bodies, the construction trade sector, unions, banks and government. This has already led to useful collaborations, in particular in relation to ensuring firms and employees have access to support from Government and the banks.</p><p> </p><p>The nature of Carillion’s business was to sub-contract significant proportions of its work and a significant number of those sub-contractors have sub-contracted further elements. The complexity of the contracting structure is such that it is not possible for the Official Receiver at this stage in the liquidation process to have a complete picture of companies and therefore projects affected across the UK. He is continuing to work through Carillion’s systems to identify all contracts. To date, we are not currently aware of any Carillion related redundancies in Hendon.</p> answering member constituency Burton answering member printed Andrew Griffiths question first answered 12/03/2018 10:56:39 answering member 3936 label Biography information for Andrew Griffiths

uin	129894
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>The Department does not collect data on the number of holiday properties that are registered for, or receive, small business rate relief. Decisions on whether a property qualifies for small business rate relief rest with local councils.</p><p>The Valuation Office Agency ratings list data shows that there are 41,000 properties classed as self-catering holiday homes with a rateable value of up to £15,000, which is the upper limit for small business rate relief. However, not all of these properties will receive this relief, for example where owners have more than one property.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 06/03/2018 13:24:09 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
