answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2023 answer text <p>Officials from the National Church Institutions are seeking a meeting with the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to discuss the 2017 independent Taylor report on the sustainability of Church Buildings. Despite being commissioned by the Government, the Government has yet to respond.</p><p>The Church Commissioners are providing £11million in funding for 2023-25 to support a new “Buildings for Mission” programme to provide support, through dioceses, to local parishes with the challenges they face in maintaining their church buildings.</p><p>National grant funding is no longer ring-fenced for religious buildings despite the largest number of listed buildings in the country being from that classification. While grant funding is also available from national and local charities, this can only go so far. The Church of England is grateful to the great many congregations and local philanthropists who continue, despite current financial difficulties, to support the work of the Church.</p><p>Recent reports from the National Churches Trust have shown that every £1 invested in a church building returns £16 to the community in other services and facilities. If the Church can spend less time on repairing buildings, an even greater focus could be given to supporting the communities it serves. The evidence for this can be found in the 2021 House of Good report, available at: <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalchurchestrust.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FGADS1597%2520%25E2%2580%2593%2520NCT%2520House%2520of%2520Good%25202021%2520V7%2520SINGLE-PAGES.pdf&amp;data=05%7C01%7Crichard.chapman%40churchofengland.org%7C552d0047f19347a2cec208daffc427fe%7C95e2463b3ab047b49ac1587c77ee84f0%7C0%7C0%7C638103516281887456%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=0ILjNDfV%2FcwAc%2FlvI5qVt001QAPNL1wA9aDaMGcdfHM%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">House of Good 2021</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 31/01/2023 16:37:57 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous

tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	129782
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2023 answer text <p>The devolved administrations are well-funded to deliver all their devolved responsibilities, including health services.</p><p> </p><p>The 2021 Spending Review set the largest annual block grants, in real terms, of any spending review settlement since the devolution Acts. Those settlements are still growing in real terms this year, and over the three-year spending review period, despite inflation being higher than expected.</p><p> </p><p>This provides the devolved administrations with over 20% more funding per person than equivalent UK Government spending in other parts of the UK. This is around 25% more for the Scottish Government and around 20% more for the Welsh Government and NI Executive. It is for the devolved administrations to decide how to allocate their funding in devolved areas.</p><p> </p><p>Like many countries, the UK faces the twin challenge of a recession and high inflation as global energy price rises have been exacerbated by Putin’s war in Ukraine. The Government has set out its plan to halve inflation over the course of this year by remaining steadfast in support for the independent Monetary Policy Committee at the Bank of England, making difficult but responsible decisions on tax and spending to not add fuel to the fire, and by tackling high energy prices by holding down energy bills for households and businesses this year and next and investing in long-term energy security.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 30/01/2023 15:27:07 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing the threshold at which single-income families begin to pay the High Income Child Benefit Charge.
tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	129784
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2023 answer text <p>The High Income Child Benefit Charge (HICBC) is charged on an individual rather than a household basis, in line with other tax policy. It applies to Child Benefit recipients who have, or whose partner has, an adjusted net income (ANI) of £50,000 regardless of family makeup.</p><p>It would not be practical for HMRC to increase the threshold for single-income families only, as it would require HMRC to operate two parallel income thresholds. This would further complicate the tax system for families, would not ensure consistency between claimants, and would entail a significant operational burden for HMRC. Tax simplification is a priority for this Government.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 31/01/2023 15:15:35 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
