answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2018 answer text <p>Consumers, local pubs and breweries have benefitted significantly from freezes and cuts to beer and other alcohol duties in recent years. After the cuts and freezes we have made to beer duty since 2013, the average tax in 2018 on a typical pint of beer is expected to be 12p lower than it would otherwise have been.</p><p> </p><p>However this comes at significant cost to the Exchequer. Since 2013/14, cuts and freezes to alcohol duties have cost approximately £4 billion.</p><p> </p><p>This is equivalent to over 100,000 teachers’ yearly salaries.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/09/2018 15:46:32 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2018 answer text <p>The government has no current plans to review the decision not to introduce a tobacco levy. A levy would complicate the tax system, impose an administrative burden on businesses and HMRC and would create uncertainty for businesses and consumers.</p><p> </p><p>The 2015 Spending Review made available £16 billion of Public Health Grant funding for local authorities in England over the five years to 2020. Tobacco control is within this remit. The ring-fence around the public health grant remains in place for this financial year and the next, as does the requirement for local authorities to use their grant to reduce inequalities in health.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 12/09/2018 15:46:46 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2018 answer text <p>Treasury Ministers and officials have meetings with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors, including Lloyds Bank, as part of the process of policy development and delivery. Details of ministerial and permanent secretary meetings with external organisations on departmental business are published on a quarterly basis and are available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-ministers-meetings-hospitality-gifts-and-overseas-travel.</p><p>Decisions on the branch network are a commercial matter for the management team of a firm, and the Government does not intervene in those decisions. However, the impact of closures on communities must be understood, considered and mitigated, where possible.</p><p>Government supports the industry’s Access to Banking Standard, launched in May 2017, which commits banks to ensure personal and business customers are better informed about branch closures and the reasons for them closing, along with the options they have locally to continue to access banking services. The Access to Banking Standard is monitored and enforced by the independent Lending Standards Board.</p><p>Government also supports the Post Office’s banking framework agreement which enables 99% of personal and 95% of banks’ small business customers to conduct their everyday banking services at a Post Office counter via its network of 11,500 branches. In March, in response to my request, the Post Office and UK Finance committed to joint work to raise public awareness of these important services so that more consumers can benefit from them.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 12/09/2018 11:20:25 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
