Finance Bill

"I have to challenge the Minister on IR35. He is speaking as though it is somehow all fine. It has decimated sections of the tech and IT industry in my constituency, where groups of people came together to deliver short contracts and were actually paying as much tax as the …..."

Contingencies Fund (No. 2) Bill

"The hon. Gentleman has talked a lot about money going out into the private sector, but a lot of this contingency money has gone into the public sector. The key point is, as my hon. Friend the Member for Luton North (Sarah Owen) highlighted, that it is taxpayers’ money. Surely …..."

Contingencies Fund (No. 2) Bill

First, I should point out to the hon. Member for South Cambridgeshire (Anthony Browne) that value for …..."

Written Question
Beer: Excise Duties
Thursday 11th March 2021

Asked by: Meg Hillier (Labour (Co-op) - Hackney South and Shoreditch)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to respond to the consultation on the review of Small Brewers' Relief that ran from 30 January 2019 to 17 March 2019; and what steps he is taking to use the findings of that consultation to inform the consultation on Small Brewers' Relief that closes on 4 April 2021.

Answered by Kemi Badenoch - Leader of HM Official Opposition

Following the announcement of the Small Brewers Relief (SBR) review at the 2018 Budget, the Treasury conducted a survey of brewers between January and March 2019. An update on the review was provided to Parliament in July 2020, outlining the Government’s initial conclusions. In January 2021 a technical consultation was launched to gain further feedback from brewers. The information provided by the consultation will be used alongside the data from the 2019 survey to inform final policy decisions.

Further updates will be provided after the close of the consultation.

So, although the Government have provided support for people to self-isolate, surely …..."

Ministerial and other Maternity Allowances Bill

"I have been following this debate with interest. Unfortunately, I was unable to speak in it, because I was in Committee. In a couple of months, it will be 12 years since I was the first Minister to have maternity cover; I took six months of maternity leave and I …..."

Ministerial and other Maternity Allowances Bill

"I have listened to as much of the debate as I could this afternoon. Ministers have had maternity leave. We took it and said that it was something that women should have. We led on that. I was lucky enough to have as Home Secretary Jacqui Smith, who championed proper …..."
