Spring Statement
"The OBR’s report—I refer to table B.7 and chart B.4—assumes that the Brexit dividend will be recycled into ordinary expenditure. I wonder whether the Chancellor accepts that conclusion. If so, what thought has he given to spending this money, and is the NHS near the top of his list?..."Jacob Rees-Mogg - View Speech

Oral Answers to Questions
"In the past nine years, there have been 23 retroactive tax changes where there has been unfairness, error or unduly onerous taxation. When the law was drafted in 1994, there was no idea that there would be a succession of referendums. It is deeply unfair that people who have contributed …..."Jacob Rees-Mogg - View Speech

Written Question
Thursday 30th November 2017
Asked by:
Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative - North East Somerset)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to Table C5 of the 2017 Autumn Budget 2017 and Table B.4 of the Office for Budget Responsibility's Economic Economic and Fiscal Outlook November 2017, when the forecast own resources contribution to the EU of £3.5bn in 2019-20 and subsequent years will be reallocated to domestic UK spending, what plans he has for these monies; and if he will make a statement.
Answered by Elizabeth Truss
The Office for Budget Responsibility’s independent forecast has maintained EU contributions past the point of exit in order to produce a fiscally neutral forecast; they have made no assumptions on the outcome of future policy decisions. The funding choices we take after exiting the EU will be based on the UK’s domestic priorities and will also be affected by the then economic environment and the fiscal position. We are determined to secure the very best deal we can for households and businesses in these negotiations and to seize the opportunities ahead by laying the foundations of a stronger, fairer Britain outside the EU.

Wednesday 8th November 2017
Asked by:
Jacob Rees-Mogg (Conservative - North East Somerset)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what provisions have been made to replace the role of the European Securities and Markets Authority, the European Banking Authority and the European Insurance Occupational Pension Authority in the UK.
Answered by Steve Barclay
The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will convert all directly applicable European Union financial services legislation into British law. The powers under that Bill will be used to transfer functions currently undertaken by EU institutions to an appropriate UK body.
The future of our relationship with the European Supervisory Authorities is subject to the outcome of the withdrawal negotiations. The UK and the EU will start from the unique position of regulatory alignment. We will look to create a new framework that allows for continued trust in one another’s institutions and a close partnership.
