Landlords: Income Tax
Asked by: Geoffrey Cox (Conservative - Torridge and West Devon) Monday 22nd April 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the report entitled Property income review: simplifying income tax for residential landlords, published by the Office for Tax Simplification on 25 October 2022, if he will take steps to introduce legislative proposals for a brightline test to clarify when property letting activities subject to income tax would qualify as a trade. Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) I refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave on 21 March 2024 to question UIN 18911. |
Ambulance Services: Bullying and Discrimination
Asked by: Geoffrey Cox (Conservative - Torridge and West Devon) Monday 22nd April 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle (a) sexism, (b) racism and (c) bullying behaviour within the ambulance service; and if she will establish an independent body to review complaints made by ambulance workers. Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) Everyone working in the National Health Service must feel safe from any form of bullying, harassment, discrimination, or abuse, and feel confident that they can raise concerns, which will be taken seriously and acted on.
The Department welcomes the publication of the NHS England commissioned independent review into ambulance sector culture. NHS England has established a Delivery Board to deliver the review’s important recommendations. This includes actions led by the Office of the Chief Allied Health Professions at NHS England, and the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, on stopping misogyny and improving sexual safety in the ambulance service. This programme of work will build on the work already underway through the NHS People Plan, and the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Improvement Plan |
Holiday Accommodation: Taxation
Asked by: Geoffrey Cox (Conservative - Torridge and West Devon) Monday 22nd April 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish guidance on the tax regime for furnished holiday lets after April 2025. Answered by Nigel Huddleston - Financial Secretary (HM Treasury) The Government will publish draft legislation, explanatory notes, and a tax information and impacts note in due course. These will set out how the announced changes will apply in practice.

Sub Post Offices: Pay
Asked by: Geoffrey Cox (Conservative - Torridge and West Devon) Tuesday 14th May 2024 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions the Minister of State for Enterprise, Markets and Small Business has had with Post Office Ltd on the decision to reduce the remuneration period for subpostmasters with Hard to Place post offices; and what steps he is taking to ensure sufficient compensation and support for affected subpostmasters during the transition period. Answered by Kevin Hollinrake - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade) I and my officials meet regularly with Post Office Ltd to discuss a range of issues of mutual interest, including Hard to Place Postmasters. I also chair a regular working group between the National Federation of SubPostmasters and Post Office to discuss a range of issues affecting postmasters. Whilst the level of compensation offered to Hard to Place postmasters represents a commercial matter for Post Office to determine, the Government supports Post Office Limited's attempts to resolve the situation. The previous situation was more detrimental to all parties involved as individuals were holding on, as they had for a number of years already, in the hope that they would get compensation that might not have materialised. |
