answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/10/2019 answer text <p>The off-payroll working rules (sometimes known as IR35) have been in place since 2000. They are designed to ensure that individuals working like employees pay broadly the same amount of tax and NICs, regardless of the structure they work through. They do not affect the self-employed.</p><p> </p><p>In 2017 the Government reformed the way the rules operate in the public sector in order to address widespread non-compliance. Evidence shows that compliance is improving, without reducing the flexibility of the labour market.</p><p> </p><p>Budget 2018 announced that the reform would be extended to all sectors, but not until April 2020, giving businesses more time to prepare. The Government has consulted extensively on the reform and HMRC are rolling out guidance as well as an education and support programme.</p><p> </p><p>On 11 July 2019, HMRC published a Tax Information and Impact Note setting out the costs to business and individuals of the reform.

uin	5826
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2017 answer text <p>We announced on 20 July 2017 our plans for the Midland Main Line, along with the launch of the public consultation for the next East Midlands franchise. The next East Midlands franchise will be an important step in realising the benefits of the biggest investment in the route since it was completed in 1870.</p><p> </p><p>The upgrade will enable reduced journey times and more seats for long distance passengers during the peaks, as well as dedicated commuter services with longer trains. The next operator will be required to deliver modern, fast, efficient and comfortable trains, including a brand new fleet of bi-mode intercity trains from 2022, with more seats and better on-board facilities.</p><p> </p><p>In July 2012, the indicative cost for the electrification and upgrade of the Midland Main Line was estimated at £800 million. Network Rail is currently in negotiation with its suppliers regarding the planned work to be carried out on the Midland Main Line, and it is not therefore possible to give such an estimate without potentially compromising their financial position in those negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 26/07/2017 10:50:13 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
