Select Committee Inquiry
10 Sep 2015
Review of scope and performance of Office for Budget Responsibility
Treasury Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

After initial reluctance from the Budget Responsibility Committee's Chairman, Lord Burns, to provide it, Treasury Committee staff have now reviewed the e-mail exchange between the Treasury and the OBR in the 'pre-release access period' leading up to the publication of the OBR's December 2014 Economic and Fiscal Outlook.

The correspondence shows that, during this period, a number of non-factual requests for changes to the OBR's Economic and Fiscal Outlook were made by Treasury officials. Some were taken on board by the OBR. While these changes made no material difference to the content of the publication, they raise concerns about the terms of engagement between the OBR and Government officials. These should now be clarified.



Written Answers
South Wales Main Line
Asked by: Stephen Doughty (Labour (Co-op) - Cardiff South and Penarth)
Monday 11th March 2024

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent progress he has made on the provision of relief lines to allow additional capacity on the South Wales mainline in South Wales.

Answered by Huw Merriman

The government is investing in an enhancement of the Relief Lines between the Severn Tunnel and Cardiff. The proposed increase in line speed and capacity would improve the performance of existing passenger and freight trains and enable the operation of additional local services as set out in the recommendations of Lord Burns’ South East Wales Transport Commission. The Full Business Case for this scheme is on target to be delivered by the end of the year.

Transport: North Wales
Asked by: Virginia Crosbie (Conservative - Ynys Môn)
Monday 17th April 2023

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will work with the Welsh Government on a multimodal review of the North Wales transport corridor to develop improvements of (a) the North Wales Main Line, (b) connectivity with HS2, (c) electrification), (d) the A55, (e) the M53, (f) the M56, and (g) travel to and from the island of Ireland.

Answered by Richard Holden

Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill’s independent Union Connectivity Review recognised the importance of transport connectivity right across our United Kingdom recommended that a multimodal review of the North Wales transport corridor be undertaken.

It is the UK Government’s clear view that we should work towards improving transport via all modes in order to ensure that opportunity is available to all in every part of our United Kingdom. This includes via road, which in addition to private car and motorcycle, also carry the overwhelming majority of freight and over three-quarters of public transport users, especially from lower-income and elderly groups by bus and younger people via long-distance coach travel.

Following the Union Connectivity Review, the Welsh Government subsequently announced the establishment of the North Wales Transport Commission, led by Lord Burns, to assess the transport system in North Wales.

We will consider any recommendations that Commission makes and to the Union Connectivity Review in due course but it’s clear from the UK Government’s recent announced investment in Holyhead in Ynys Mon that the UK Government understand the value and importance of the North Wales Traffic Corridor across all modes of transport.

Railways: South Wales
Asked by: Jessica Morden (Labour - Newport East)
Friday 3rd February 2023

Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, whether he has had recent discussions with the Secretary of State for Transport on (a) upgrades to the South Wales relief line and (b) the rail-related recommendations in the report by Lord Burns entitled South East Wales Transport Commission: final recommendations, published on 26 November 2020.

Answered by David T C Davies

I have regular discussions with the Transport Secretary on a range of transport issues, including infrastructure in Wales.

We have recently announced a further £2.7 million study with Welsh Government, funded by the UK Government, to develop options for new stations and services on the South Wales Main Line.

The study follows Lord Hendy’s recommendations from his review of transport connectivity across the UK, which put forward the need to relieve congestion on the M4. A series of options will be considered as part of this study, among which is the development of five brand new stations between Cardiff and Severn Tunnel.

Audit is dominated globally by the Big Four.

Taxing corporations in a global economy: is a new approach needed?
Economic Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Recent high profile cases involving multinational firms have raised the profile of the level of tax paid by large corporations and it has been suggested that for large firms corporation tax is becoming now a voluntary arrangement.

  • Is there a good rationale for the existing system of taxing corporate profits? Who bears the burden of corporation tax?
  • What proportion of total tax receipts should come from corporation tax?
  • How vulnerable are UK corporation tax revenues to recession or tax avoidance?
  • How does corporation tax affect decisions by firms on where to locate, how much to invest and where to declare profits?
  • Should the taxation of SME’s be reformed? Do schemes such as Enterprise Investment Scheme leverage extra investment in the UK and do they represent good value for money?
  • Is there a need to reform the basis of the international allocation of multinational profits between countries? Should this be based on existing conventions as suggested by the OECD or is there a need for more fundamental reform?
  • Is there a meaningful distinction between ‘harmful’ and ‘fair’ tax competition?
  • How successful is HMRC in dealing with large international business?
  • Has the use of aggressive tax avoidance schemes increased or decreased over the last decade?
  • Should the promoters of aggressive tax avoidance schemes be named and shamed?
  • Is there a need for greater transparency by multinational companies in declaring tax paid in different countries?

The Economic Impact on UK Energy Policy of Shale Gas and Oil
Economic Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

The Committee will consider the possible impact of shale gas and oil on the UK economy following evidence from the United States that suggests that shale gas can be extracted using current technology and make a substantial impact on the national economy and in the areas where production is centred.

Questions

The Committee are seeking evidence on:

  • How much scope is there for shale gas and oil to be used in the UK? Over what timeframe?
  • How will the costs, including those on the environment, of accessing the UK’s shale gas and oil compare to those of other energy sources?
  • What is the potential impact of shale gas and oil on the local economies in areas where development is possible?
  • What forms of electricity generation is shale gas likely to displace and by how much?
  • What impact will shale gas and oil have on household energy bills?
  • What effect will the use of shale gas and oil have on carbon emissions compared to other combinations of energy sources?
  • Will shale gas and oil increase UK energy security?
  • What lessons can be learnt from the US experience of shale gas and oil?

UK labour supply
Economic Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

There has been a significant reduction in the size of the UK labour force following the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictions on economic activity. Labour shortages are affecting a wide range of sectors and may have important economic consequences.

The Economic Affairs Committee is seeking to understand the main causes of the reduction in the size of the labour force, and it will explore data on the types of people who have left the labour market. The Committee is also interested in what differences exist between labour market trends in the UK compared with those in other developed countries.

How sustainable is our national debt?
Economic Affairs Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

UK public sector net debt, often referred to as ‘national debt’, currently stands at just under 100 per cent of GDP.

The UK’s growth outlook remains weak; quantitative easing has significantly increased the sensitivity of the UK’s debt to changes in short-term interest rates; and it is unclear whether the Government’s fiscal rule, as it relates to the national debt, is fit for purpose.

The committee’s inquiry will investigate whether the UK’s national debt is on a sustainable path; if not, what steps are required; and whether the Government’s fiscal rule regarding the national debt is meaningful.
