answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2016 answer text <p>The Government recognises the importance of ensuring regions and organisations have stability and certainty in the period leading up to our departure from the European Union. At the same time, we are keen to use the opportunities that departure presents to set our own priorities. The Chancellor has announced that the Treasury will guarantee structural and investment fund bids which are signed before the UK leaves the EU. This includes funding for projects agreed after the Autumn Statement, if they represent good value for money, and if they are in line with the government’s strategic priorities, even if these projects continue beyond the UK’s departure from the EU.</p><p>Leaving the EU means we will want to take our own decisions about how to deliver the policy objectives previously targeted by EU funding. Over the coming months, the government will consult closely with stakeholders to review all EU funding schemes in the round, to ensure that any ongoing funding commitments best serve the UK‘s national interest, while ensuring appropriate certainty.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/12/2016 15:39:11 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

uin	55900
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>National Insurance records do not have a comparable process to the end of year P800 adjustments process for income tax. This is because National Insurance contributions (NICs) paid on the earnings of the employee are assessed for the period in which the earnings were paid (for example, weekly or monthly) for each separate employment. There is no annual correction as unlike income tax, NICs are not assessed on an annual basis across all sources, therefore no reconciliation is required at the end of the year.</p><p> </p><p>When the details of the NICs paid are recorded onto an individual's National Insurance account, HM Revenue and Customs routinely performs checks on the data received and under or overpayments of NICs can be investigated and corrected.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 06/12/2016 15:16:47 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
