answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government has earmarked significant support, £16 billion, to keep train services running since the start of the pandemic and keep people in jobs during the height of lockdowns, the equivalent to £600 for every family in the UK and £160,000 for every rail worker. If recent shortfalls in passenger demand and revenue are maintained, this represents a £2 billion per annum loss in revenue. We do not think it is fair to continue providing the industry with an increased subsidy from taxpayers at a time when there is pressure on everyone’s finances.</p><p>We have asked Network Rail, train operators and the industry to consider all options to make the railway sustainable for the long term. Staffing costs is just one area of a wide range of reforms and changes. We need an agile workforce that can deliver for passengers. These reforms will make the railway more efficient, delivering more effectively for passengers and taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton grouped question UIN 25971 question first answered 30/06/2022 10:06:57 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2021 answer text <p>VAT is a broad-based tax on consumption and the standard rate of 20 per cent normally applies to most goods and services, including PCR tests. Medical testing, where it is administered by registered health professionals, is exempt from VAT. The Government also continues to offer free COVID-19 testing for those with COVID-19 symptoms.</p><p> </p><p>Testing individuals after they arrive in the UK is an important tool to help the Government protect the public from the risk posed by imported cases of COVID-19 and to identify variants of concern. The Government recognises that the cost of PCR tests can be high, which is why it is working with the travel industry and private testing providers to see how costs can be reduced while ensuring that travel remains as safe as possible.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/07/2021 12:44:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
