answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2024 answer text <p>The Department does not intend to assess the potential merits of adjusting the Minimum Income Floor (MIF). Relaxing or removing the MIF risks trapping customers indefinitely in very low-earning self-employment and dependency on the welfare system - a situation that is unfair to the taxpayer, and unhelpful for customers and their families.</p><p> </p><p>We are working with the National Farmers’ Union (NFU) to ensure a smooth transition from the old legacy benefits to Universal Credit, as well as providing transitional protection when applicable.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 26/04/2024 11:29:27 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2021 answer text <p>The Government issued Covid-19 guidance to ensure local council meetings take place safely. The guidance is aimed at those who manage council buildings, and many council buildings are also workplaces which host a variety of meetings in addition to statutory meetings of local authority members. Where in-person attendance is not required these meetings should continue to be held virtually. The guidance also actively encourages local authorities to continue to provide remote public access until 19 July, at which point it is anticipated that restrictions on indoor gatherings will be lifted. It is for local authorities to satisfy themselves they have met the necessary requirements.</p><p>We launched a call for evidence which closed on 17 June to gather views on a longer-term decision about provision for local authorities to meet remotely or in hybrid form on a permanent basis. The Department is reviewing the responses and will respond shortly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 05/07/2021 12:54:15 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
