Written Question
Thursday 6th September 2018
Asked by:
Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse of raising the personal tax allowance from £11,850 to £12,500.
Answered by Mel Stride
- Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer
The cost of raising the income tax Personal Allowance may be approximated using the “Direct effects of illustrative tax changes” table as published at the following address:
https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/direct-effects-of-illustrative-tax-changes
The table shows the cost of a £100 increase and a 10% increase in the Personal Allowance in 2018-19 through to 2020-21. This can be used to assess the expected cost of raising the Personal Allowance to £12,500.

Written Question
Monday 11th June 2018
Asked by:
Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has plans to include hydrogen refuelling infrastructure in the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund in the future.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
- Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
The purpose of the Charging Infrastructure Investment Fund is to catalyse private sector investment into the electric vehicle chargepoint network. Electric vehicle infrastructure is at a different stage of market development to hydrogen and currently has sufficient viable commercial propositions which is suitable for investments of this type.
The government is committed to introducing appropriately targeted interventions in hydrogen to support its growth as a transport fuel in the UK. The government has allocated £30m funding to increase the uptake of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and roll out more cutting edge infrastructure – part of this funding has now been awarded to a successful consortium bid which will see additional hydrogen refuelling stations being built as well as upgrades to existing refuelling infrastructure. In addition, government funding has supported the opening of the UK’s first integrated forecourt hydrogen refuelling station at the Shell Beaconsfield site, making it the first location in the country selling hydrogen fuel as well as petrol and diesel.
