tabling member constituency	York Central
tabling member printed	Rachael Maskell
uin	78437
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government strongly supports the modal shift of freight from road to rail to reduce congestion and carbon emissions from across the freight sector. This was clearly set out in the recently published Transport Decarbonisation Plan and Williams-Shapps Plan for Rail. Additionally, the Government is currently working with industry leaders from all modes to develop the Future of Freight strategy, a long-term strategic plan for the freight sector, which will include modal shift.</p><p>The Government continues to incentivise modal shift through the Mode Shift Revenue Support (MSRS) scheme, which supports the carriage of freight by rail and water on routes where road haulage has a financial advantage. In 2021/22, the Department allocated up to £20m for this grant scheme which removes the equivalent of around 900,000 HGV journeys off the road each year. This was recently increased by a further £500,000 to reduce the number of HGV journeys by an additional 29,000.</p><p>The Government has also committed to introducing a rail freight growth target which will help galvanise action across the sector and provide a common objective for industry collaboration. Further details about the growth target will be confirmed in due course and the Government will be working closely with industry partners to develop the target.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 24/11/2021 11:40:20 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what plans he has to raise the High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) threshold; and what recent assessment she has made of the impact of that threshold on families with one working parent on a low to average income.
tabling member constituency	North Ayrshire and Arran
tabling member printed	Patricia Gibson
uin	78422
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to managing the public finances in a disciplined and responsible way by targeting support where it is most needed.</p><p>The adjusted net income threshold of £50,000 only affects a minority of individuals, with comparatively high incomes. Individuals claiming Child Benefit with average and low incomes are not liable to pay HICBC. If a claimant lives with a partner earning above £50,000, their partner will be liable to pay the charge.</p><p>The Government therefore believes that the current threshold for HICBC remains the best option at present. As with all elements of tax policy, the Government keeps this under review.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 24/11/2021 16:26:22 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
