Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how much has been collected by HM Revenue and Customs in corporation tax from companies that had previously received Enterprise Investment Scheme tax relief in each of the last 10 years.
Answered by Mel Stride - Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions
HMRC estimates that companies which raised funds under the Enterprise Investment Scheme (EIS) between 2006‑07 and 2015‑16 had a Corporation Tax liability of £95 million in 2015‑16, the latest year for which data are available.
This cannot be considered to be additional tax generated due to EIS, as it does not take account of the additionality or opportunity cost of investment.
The information requested about VAT and PAYE Income Tax is only available at disproportionate cost.

Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what proportion and value of UK exports to the EU were destined for markets outside the EU in each of the last five years.
Answered by Mark Garnier - Shadow Parliamentary Under Secretary (Energy Security and Net Zero)
Accurate Information on the proportion and value of UK exports to the EU that were destined for markets outside the EU in each of the last five years is not available. This is because many businesses do not report the final destination of their export.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many reports of online child grooming have been received by the police in each of the last five years; and how many convictions for online child grooming have been made in each such year.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The Home Office collects information from police forces on the number of police recorded offences that have an online element. The online flag became mandatory from April 2015 therefore data prior to this are not available.
Information on the number of child sexual offences flagged as having an online element are published as experimental statistics in the ONS ‘Crime in England and Wales’ quarterly bulletins. The ‘child sexual offences’ category includes sexual grooming. Information on sexual grooming is not separately published.
These data can be found in table E12 of the experimental tables on the ONS website: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesexperimentaltables.
The Home Office does not hold information on the number of online child grooming offences which have led to prosecutions. The Ministry of Justice are responsible for prosecutions data.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) reports, (b) prosecutions and (c) convictions there have been for drive-off forecourt fuel theft in each of the last five years.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The information requested is not held centrally. The Home Office collects data on the number of making off without payment offences recorded by the police in England and Wales, but it is not possible to tell from these data whether the offence was forecourt fuel theft. Information on the number of making off without payment offences recorded by the police are published by the Office for National Statistics and can be found here:
https://www.ons.gov.uk/releases/crimeinenglandandwalesyearendingdec2016
The Home Office does not hold information on the number of offences that led to conviction. Data on prosecutions and convictions are the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many parents have been (a) accused and (b) convicted of killing or assaulting their child or children in each of the last five years; and how many such children had been removed from their parents into the care system and subsequently returned.
Answered by Karen Bradley
The available information for homicides of children under 16 by their parents recorded by police in England and Wales is given in the table and is taken from the Home Office Homicide Index.
Data are based on the number of offenders whose court proceedings have been completed. Due to the time it can take for cases to pass through the criminal justice system, there is likely to be an increase in the number of people convicted of homicide for recent years when updated figures become available.
The Home Office hold data on assaults but from these date it is not possible to identify the relationship between the victim and the suspect.
The Home Office do not hold data on children in care. These are the responsibility of the Department for Education.

Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 26 January 2016 to Question 22515, if he will estimate the amount paid out in supplements following the late payment of VAT returns in (a) 2015-16 and (b) each of the previous 10 years.
Answered by David Gauke
The following table shows HM Revenue and Customs’ (HMRC) estimates of the total amount of Repayment Supplement it has paid on VAT repayments. The estimates draw on management information that is available from 2010-11 onwards.

* In order to provide a more meaningful time series of data, totals for 10-11, 11-12 and 12-13 include estimated amounts from within total payments of £12.1m that relate to accounting periods in these years but were not paid until 2015, following discovery of a systems error.
In 2014-15, HMRC paid Repayment Supplement in 0.3% of all cases.
In the first half of 2015-16, HMRC carried out an extensive review of its repayment process with a view to minimising delays in cases where repayments are not authorised automatically. Following the review, new processes have been introduced and HMRC expects to reduce the incidence of Repayment Supplement as a result.
