Where a scheme is not solely required to deliver airport capacity and has a wider range of beneficiaries, the Government, along with relevant stakeholders, will consider the need for a public funding contribution alongside an appropriate contribution from the airport on a case by case basis. The Government is supporting Heathrow Surface Access schemes subject to the development of a satisfactory business case and the agreement of acceptable terms with the Heathrow aviation industry.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 19/11/2018 13:29:30 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>Legislation was introduced with effect from 6 December 2010 to address avoidance schemes under which profits were said to fall out of account, or tax relief for losses were claimed, as a result of the way in which financial assets were recognised in accounts. Since that date, existing schemes have been unwound and there have been no further known iterations of these schemes. The measure has therefore been successful in protecting revenues, but it is not possible to say how much would otherwise have been lost.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 19/11/2018 15:35:42 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
