answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2014 answer text <p>HMRC has no plans to establish a dedicated VAT helpline for the offices of Members of Parliament. HMRC receives far fewer enquiries from the public and MPs on business taxes such as VAT than for personal tax and benefits issues. In general, MPs seem content to write to HMRC about business tax issues or to use the existing call centre lines. This best meets the need of business taxpayers and MPs as often the issues are detailed and complex.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 04/12/2014 17:31:49 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

The project is still in the planning phase, so it is too early to estimate its value. However, the developer, Horizon Nuclear Power, has stated that it expects hundreds of millions of pounds to be invested in the local economy. Horizon also expects that the plant will create 1000 permanent jobs and up to 8,500 jobs during the construction phase.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matthew Hancock question first answered 08/12/2014 14:58:38 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

tabling member constituency	Aberconwy

uin	215936
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2014 answer text Iran systematically filters and restricts access to the internet. Millions of websites are blocked, including social media sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Many Iranian citizens find technical ways around the restrictions but their online activity can put them at risk. In May 2014, eight Iranians were sentenced to a combined 123 years in prison for their Facebook activities. Charges included blasphemy, insulting the Supreme Leader, and spreading propaganda against the system. We urge Iran to allow freedom of expression, and respect the rights of all its citizens in line with its international obligations. We most recently raised our concerns around freedom of expression during Iran’s Universal Periodic Review at the UN Human Rights Council on 31 October. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/11/2014 13:43:52 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2014 answer text In 2013, President Rouhani made a number of comments in support of greater religious freedom in Iran. Unfortunately, there has been no change in Iran’s approach over the past year. Religious minority groups in Iran continue to face widespread discrimination. The UK has repeatedly called on the Iranian government to end all persecution of individuals on the basis of their faith, and to guarantee the human rights of all Iranians. answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 28/11/2014 13:54:13 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
