Food: Manufacturing Industries
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West) Thursday 12th December 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what place food manufacturing will have in the industrial strategy. Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Department for Energy Security and Net Zero) The Industrial Strategy Green Paper identified eight growth-driving sectors. All sectors can shape and will benefit from policy reform through the Industrial Strategy’s cross-cutting policies alongside the broader Growth Mission. This will create the pro-business environment for all businesses to invest and employ, with growth that supports high-quality jobs and ensures that the benefits are shared across people, places, and generations.
The UK’s agriculture food and drink sector plays a significant part in the UK economy, with £146.7bn contribution to GVA and 4.2m jobs (13% UK total employment). Government is engaging with the food, drink and farming industries regularly on how the sector can grow and invest. |

Steiner Schools Foundation: VAT
Asked by: Scott Arthur (Labour - Edinburgh South West) Friday 20th December 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she had discussions with Cabinet colleagues on the potential impact of VAT on Steiner School kindergartens. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government ran a technical consultation on the VAT policy for seven weeks from 29 July to 15 September. During the consultation period, my officials and I also held a series of meetings with stakeholders to complement written responses. This included written submissions from Steiner Schools.
Following that consultation the Government made changes to the treatment of nursery classes, so that those attached to private schools will continue to be exempt from VAT as long as they are wholly (or almost wholly), rather than completely, composed of children under compulsory school age who wouldn’t be expected to turn compulsory school age that year.
Classes where the vast majority of children are below compulsory school age will remain exempt from VAT. Where mixed classes have a high proportion of children over compulsory school age the Government believes it is fair to treat these classes the same way entire classes of children over compulsory school age are treated. This means that classes like “kindergarten classes” in Steiner schools will be within scope of this policy. |

Rail investment pipelines: ending boom and bust Transport Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 7 Feb 2025) The Transport Committee is examining investment pipelines for the railway. This inquiry will examine how a planned, steady pipeline of projects and investments (including elements such as track enhancements, station upgrades, and rolling stock orders) could benefit the development of the railway, including by enabling the rail supply industry to plan ahead, giving confidence to potential investors and potentially reducing costs and other frictions. The Committee is also interested in how the development of a long-term project pipeline could help address skills shortages in the rail industry. |
