answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/09/2018 answer text <p>The cost of diesel is linked to wholesale costs and the global oil price. To support households and businesses, the government has frozen fuel duty for eight successive years. By April 2019, these freezes will have saved the average car driver £850 compared to the pre-2010 escalator.</p><p> </p><p>However, freezes since 2011 have meant the Exchequer has not collected around £46 billion in revenues through to 2018-19, and a further £38 billion will be foregone over the Budget forecast period as a result of these previously announced freezes.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 17/09/2018 13:48:58 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

tabling member constituency	Birkenhead
tabling member printed	Frank Field
uin	169042
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2018 answer text <p>The Treasury has not made an assessment of community benefit societies’ access to banking. However, the RBS alternative remedies package will see a £775m investment in business banking facilities, helping businesses benefit from greater choice and offers on banks’ services. Community benefit societies may also find it helpful to know that the UK Finance website hosts an online guide to help small businesses prepare when opening or switching to a new business current account. This can be found here: https://business-account-opening-guide.ukfinance.org.uk</p><p> </p><p>The government recognises the important role of community benefit societies and other forms of social enterprise, which tackle some of the most challenging problems our society faces. In January 2018 DCMS announced £135m allocated to social investment, which social enterprises will benefit from. The Civil Society Strategy, published in August 2018, sets out a long term vision to build stronger communities by bringing business, charities and the public sector together.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 06/09/2018 15:38:46 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
