Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what level of equity share they will obtain for their funding support for Casement Park through Financial Transactions Capital.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The UK Government has committed £50m of Capital Financial Transactions funding to redevelop Casement Park. The UK Government will continue to work with the Northern Ireland Executive; however, it is up to the Executive to take decisions on the design and implementation of the Financial Transaction, including whether to take long-term equity stake in the project. The Financial Transaction will be provided to the Executive on a net basis, it does not need to be repaid to the UK Government and the Executive can recycle any repayments indefinitely.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether the intention to reduce travel costs in the Civil Service, as outlined in the Spending Review of 11 June, will apply to ministerial travel.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Ministerial Code sets out that Ministers must ensure that they always make efficient and cost-effective travel arrangements. Ministerial travel in the UK is the responsibility of individual government departments with each department accountable for arranging the travel of its ministers, in line with the Ministerial Code.

The Spending Review 2025 confirmed that UK government departments will deliver reductions in administration budgets of at least 11% in real terms by 2028-29, and 16% in real terms by 2029-30.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the increase of the inflation rate to 3.6 per cent, and what steps they are taking to manage the effects on consumers.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The independent Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England are responsible for controlling inflation. The Government fully supports them as they take action to sustainably return inflation to the 2% target.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what are the consequentials under the Barnett Formula for each of the devolved administrations resulting from approval of the Lower Thames Crossing.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Block Grant Transparency publication breaks down all changes in the devolved governments’ block grant funding from the 2015 Spending Review up to and including Main Estimates 2023-24. Where funding for the Lower Thames Crossing has been allocated at a fiscal event or Estimates, the publication will confirm the total Barnett consequentials received by the devolved governments. The most recent report was published in July 2023 [1]. An updated report will be published in due course.

At spending reviews, the Barnett formula is applied to the overall change in a department’s settlement using the department’s comparability factor. This means Barnett consequentials generated at spending reviews in relation to the Lower Thames Crossing specifically cannot be determined.

For any future spending on the Lower Thames Crossing, Barnett consequentials will be confirmed when UK Government departmental budgets change.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many traders are registered on the Trader Support Service.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

Over 60,000 businesses have registered with the Trader Support Service to date.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how much funding they have allocated to Northern Ireland under the Barnett Formula as a consequence of spending on HS2; and how much additional funding they expect to allocate to Northern Ireland as a consequence of the project in each of the next five years.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Block Grant Transparency publication breaks down all changes in the devolved governments’ block grant funding from the 2015 Spending Review up to and including Main Estimates 2023-24. Where funding for HS2 has been allocated at a fiscal event or Estimates, the publication will confirm the total Barnett consequentials received by the Northern Ireland Executive.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) calls, and (2) online submissions, have been made to HMRC fraud hotline services in relation to illicit tobacco in each of the past ten years.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The table below shows the number of contacts received by HMRC’s Fraud Reporting Gateway in relation to illicit tobacco. The data is only available for the last 7 years due to HMRC’s retention policies.

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have to regulate pound sterling-backed stablecoin; and what assessment they have made of the impact of the United States GENIUS Act on any such regulation.

Answered by Lord Livermore - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Government has confirmed that it will bring forward final legislation this year to create a financial services regulatory regime for cryptoassets in the UK. The Government recognises the growth and competitiveness opportunities of stablecoins, and its regime will allow firms to be licensed in the UK to issue stablecoins.

Following the passing of the GENIUS Act by the US Congress, the Government’s approach to cryptoassets positions the UK well to work with the US in advancing our shared ambition to foster world-leading cryptoasset markets.

We think the tax rises in the 2024 Autumn budget have been self-defeating, with unemployment rising. We think they will likely result in less tax revenue and lower growth. We believe that tax payers of all degrees pay enough already and the government needs to spend the money more wisely.

The Government are introducing inheritance tax to pension funds & death benefits from April 2027. When you die this may now result in a disproportionate and unfair double taxation on beneficiaries (income tax and inheritance tax) which we think results in a disincentive to funding a pension.

We would like VAT charges to be removed on all school uniform items as part of a general move by our government to make uniforms more affordable for families.

Change Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) rules to grant Gross Payment Status by default to CIS-registered companies. Start a penalty point system, removing gross status after repeated non-compliance. Remove the turnover requirement for gross status, make it available to every construction company.

There are reports the Government could sell seized cryptocurrency. I would like the Government to commit to not doing this.

We call on the Government to bypass the commercial banking system and use its sovereign power to create a scheme to directly to fund mortgages for eligible first-time buyers. These public mortgages should be offered at a 2.1% fixed interest rate with a 15-year maximum term.

We believe there is a mental health crisis. We want to improve access to mental health treatment by making treatment through counselling and psychotherapy exempt from VAT. This would mean those seeking treatment privately would only pay the fee, without an additional 20% VAT.

Investigate and reform Companies House procedures to help prevent attempts to fraudulently register companies.

Raise the apprentice minimum wage for all apprentices to match the National Minimum Wage for those aged 18 to 20. We think low pay blocks fair access to training and harms social mobility and our future workforce.

We urge government to ban UK insurers from underwriting or reinsuring Russian-owned/Russian-flagged ships.

I think the government should implement a land value tax. It should account for the value of the land at the start of the tax year. This should apply to most land with some exceptions. rates should vary based on the way the land is used eg farmer owned farmland could be free but not rented farmland

We urge the government to exempt student laundry services from VAT, which we think would make them more affordable and accessible. By removing this cost, we think students could better manage essential living expenses and focus on their education, hygiene and overall wellbeing.

The current relief to 0% VAT rate on solar panels only applies where an MCS certified company manages a solar installation. This can exclude, for example, NICEIC electricians who are also qualified to install solar.

Pass a Future Generations Act to establish an independent commissioner to help ensure younger and future generations are protected from potentially unsustainable financial burdens, based on long-term impact assessments of public spending, borrowing, and tax policy.

We think high taxes cause people and consequently companies to leave the UK, causing even further loss in the Government's budget. The proposal is to slowly decrease income tax together with capital gain tax for productive assets (UK companies only) over several years, with highest bar of 30%.

We call on the UK Government to review current inheritance tax rules in the context of ongoing pension reform and the challenges facing working-age people today.

We propose that individuals should be able to invest their full inheritance into a pension fund without incurring inheritance tax.

We urge the Government to raise the minimum wage to £18–20 per hour, remove the benefit cap, and increase funding for childcare to make it affordable for working parents. We want a system that supports people fairly and does not penalise low-paid workers or those who are trying to find work.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will have discussions with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the potential merits of reforming Employment Allowance rules to ensure that NHS dental practices are adequately encouraged to provide predominantly NHS care.

Answered by Stephen Kinnock - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

HM Treasury has provided funding to cover the additional cost of employer National Insurance contributions for public sector employers only. This is based on the Office for National Statistics definition of public sector organisations and does not include independent primary care contractors such as dentists.

We recognise this is disappointing, but we have had to take necessary decisions to fix the foundations in the public finances. The National Health Service in England invests approximately £4 billion on dentistry every year, of which £3 billion is spent on primary care dentistry. NHS planning guidance is now published and sets out funding available to integrated care boards for 2025/2026.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of eligibility requirements for Employment Allowance relief on decisions by dental practices to maintain their NHS commitments.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has made an estimate of the number of NHS dental practices expected to reduce their NHS activity below 50% in order to qualify for Employment Allowance relief.
