answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2016 answer text <p>Where people would have been employees if they were providing their services directly, the intermediaries legislation (known as IR35) requires that they pay broadly the same tax and National Insurance as other employees.</p><p>The Government estimates that currently only around 10% of people who should pay tax on at least part of their company's income under these rules do so. This non-compliance is both unfair and estimated to cost over £400 million a year. The Government is therefore looking to improve the legislation in a way that protects the Exchequer and improves fairness. However, it is not the Government's intention to widen the scope of the rules.</p><p>The Government published a discussion document on 17 July 2015 that set out the issues in more detail and invited views on options for reform. The discussion period closed on 30 September and the Government will announce next steps in due course.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 20/01/2016 17:55:25 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The government recognises that the increased cost of electricity in the UK, as a result of the Carbon Price Floor (CPF), has an impact on the competitiveness of energy intensive industries that operate in international markets. This is why the most energy intensive industries are compensated for up to 85% of the indirect costs of the Carbon Price Floor – this is greatest amount currently allowed under EU law.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 18/01/2016 17:00:25 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2016 answer text <p>The UN, the Red Cross Movement and Non-Governmental Organisation partners have the mandate and expertise to deliver an appropriate response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria. Any UK response would work to the same principles by which the UN operates. We would not use air drops when there is ground access particularly in the circumstances of western Syria, where there are no assurances about the safety of delivering humanitarian assistance by air. Nor would the UK undermine humanitarian agencies by providing duplicate aid through air drops, in the absence of full coordination with all agencies on the ground.</p><br /> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 15/01/2016 13:36:27 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
