Tuesday 8th November 2022
Asked by:
David Linden (Scottish National Party - Glasgow East)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will increase Official Development Assistance.
Answered by John Glen
In July 2021 the former Chancellor set out the fiscal circumstances under which the UK will make the return to spending 0.7% of its GNI on ODA. This is set out in detail in a written ministerial statement, here: https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-statements/detail/2021-07-12/hcws172.
Each year, the Government will continue to monitor future forecasts closely and will review and confirm, in accordance with the Act, whether a return to spending 0.7% of GNI on ODA is possible against the latest fiscal forecasts.

Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing tax relief on income generated from the rental of a residential property where the landlord has advanced stage (a) Alzheimer's disease and (b) dementia and the rental income funds their specialist residential care; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Victoria Atkins
- Shadow Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
There are a wide range of factors to consider when introducing tax reliefs as they can add significant complexity to the tax system. Tax reliefs are also difficult to target effectively. For example, they do not benefit individuals with income below the Income Tax Personal Allowance.
Recognising the current challenges faced by care homes and local Government, the Government has announced an additional £500 million to support discharge from hospitals into care and the adult social care workforce this winter as part of Our Plan for Patients.
The Government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review. Any decisions on future changes will be taken in the context of the wider public finances.
