Bread and Flour: Regulation
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 12th March 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Douglas-Miller on 12 February (HL1943), on which date in February they informed the WTO and EU of the proposed changes to the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998 and the Bread and Flour Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998. Answered by Lord Douglas-Miller - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) The UK Government and devolved administrations notified the World Trade Organization of planned legislative changes to the Bread and Flour Regulations 1998 and Bread and Flour Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1998 on 9 February 2024 relating to the mandatory fortification of non-wholemeal wheat flour with folic acid. The EU Commission was notified under the Windsor Framework in respect of the same planned amendments in Northern Ireland on 8 February 2024. |
Council Tax and Stamp Duty Land Tax
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Tuesday 12th March 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the likely effect on economic growth and productivity of (1) revaluing council tax bands by reference to current market rates, and (2) abolishing stamp duty in favour of a reformed housing taxation arrangement. Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton - Parliamentary Secretary (HM Treasury) The government has no current plans to revalue council tax bands by reference to current market rates or to abolish Stamp Duty Land Tax in favour of a reformed housing taxation arrangement. The government continues to keep all tax policy under review. |
Council Tax
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 14th March 2024 Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact on (1) local government finances in England, and (2) the equality of taxation of council tax bands in England being based on property valuations from April 1991. Answered by Baroness Scott of Bybrook - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities) The Government has no plans to reform the council tax system in this Parliament. A council tax revaluation would be expensive to undertake and could result in increases in bills for many households as well as disrupting the operation of the local government funding system. Council Tax levels are set by local authorities who are required to put in place council tax reduction schemes to help those in financial hardship. When setting out the resources available to local authorities, the annual Local Government Finance Settlement takes account of their differing abilities to generate income through council tax. |
National Food Crime Unit
Asked by: Lord Rooker (Labour - Life peer) Monday 25th March 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Markham on 2 May 2023 (HL7168) whether the National Food Crime Unit of the Food Standards Agency now has the necessary powers to present cases to the courts. Answered by Lord Markham - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care) The Food Standards Agency’s (FSA) National Food Crime Unit (NFCU) works to prevent, detect, and investigate fraud within our food system. My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has the power under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 to grant food crime officers with access to powers, such as those under the Police and Criminal Evidence (PACE) Act 1984. The laying of secondary legislation to grant these powers and bring the FSA under the necessary oversight of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is subject to a short delay from the original laying date of 14 March 2024. One of the statutory instruments (SI) is extremely detailed and requires further resourcing from the FSA and iteration with the IOPC to resolve key policy points. However, good progress is being made with the SI, and a revised laying date is to be requested from the Cabinet Office, which is expected to be this side of the summer recess. While the FSA is in the process of agreeing a revised laying date, food crime officers in the NFCU are still able to continue with core business, and progressing food fraud investigations. However, having access to PACE powers will reduce reliance on policing partners and will better equip food crime officers with the powers they need to deal with food fraud more effectively and autonomously. Work to develop and implement mandatory training for food crime officers who will use PACE powers, and the development of an internal complaints process, remains on course to be delivered ahead of the SIs coming into force. |
