answer text <p>Budget 2018 announced a two-year business rates discount of one third for small retailers. As set out in the published guidance, the government considers retail to mean properties being used as shops, cafes, restaurants, and drinking establishments. It will be for local authorities to implement the discount and decide whether properties are similar in nature to those listed as eligible in the guidance. Music venues will only be eligible where they are similar in nature to those properties listed as eligible.</p><p> </p><p>This discount is part of Our Plan for the High Street, a £1.5bn support package. All ratepayers are benefitting from recent wide-ranging reductions to business rates; in total, cuts announced since Budget 2016 are worth more than £13bn to businesses over the next five years.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Following productive discussions with the EU, a clear vision for the UK’s future relationship with the EU has been set out in the recent Political Declaration. This included an agreement that both parties will establish general principles, terms and conditions for the UK’s participation in future EU programmes in areas of shared interest, including in areas such as science and innovation, culture and education. The next generation of EU programmes are currently under negotiation in the EU. The Government will decide whether to participate in specific programmes in light of these negotiations and wider UK priorities.</p><p>Furthermore, under the terms of the proposed Withdrawal Agreement, UK entities' right to participate in EU programmes during the current Multiannual Financial Framework period, such as Horizon 2020 and Creative Europe, will be unaffected by the UK's withdrawal from the EU for the lifetime of projects financed by the current MFF. According to the Withdrawal Agreement, UK based organisations and individuals will be able to bid for funding, participate in and lead consortia, until programme closure.</p>

answer text <p>The government is committed to sign and ratify the Withdrawal Agreement, which will allow for the Implementation Period until December 2020. During the Implementation Period, UK-based broadcasters will be free to broadcast to the EU with their Ofcom licence, and the government will be given an opportunity to negotiate the details of the future relationship between the EU and the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Broadcasting is not excluded or carved out of the political declaration, which is typically the case for trade agreements. Furthermore, the UK is a signatory to the Convention on Transfrontier Television which means that films and TV programmes made or produced in the UK will continue to have the status of European Works, which is of significant importance for industry.</p><p> </p><p>Ultimately, the future relationship with the EU on broadcasting, including on licensing arrangements, will depend on the exit negotiations. The UK is committed to seek the best possible arrangement for broadcasting that will work for UK businesses and audiences, and we will work closely with the sector to update them on any new developments. At the same time, the government will continue to do the responsible thing and prepare for all eventualities, including a no deal scenario.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The Government’s White Paper on the future relationship sets out that future cooperation on intellectual property would provide important protections for rightsholders, giving them a confident and secure basis from which to operate in and between the UK and the EU.</p><p> </p><p>As we establish our future partnership with the EU, we aim to agree continued cooperation on intellectual property, where there is mutual benefit for the UK and EU. We are open to exploring whether this should include certain cross-border copyright mechanisms and arrangements, which will need to be the subject of negotiation.</p><p> </p><p>The UK recognises and values the importance of the creative industries to the UK economy. Over and above our future arrangements with the EU, the UK is a member of many international treaties and agreements protecting copyright. This means that the majority of UK copyright works (such as films, music, books and photographs) are protected around the world, irrespective of our relationship with the EU.</p>

answer text <p>A claimant can make an application to the County Court to claim money they are owed by a person or business and this is relevant to cases involving dog attacks. The Civil Procedure Rules (Practice Direction 7A How to Start Proceedings, Part 8 Alternative Procedure for Claims and Part 27 The small claims track) set out the avenues that a claimant can use depending on whether the amount being claimed is known or not known. Given it is already possible to make a claim against persons owing them money, there are no plans for further legislation in this area.</p> more like this
