Inheritance Tax
Asked by: Michelle Welsh (Labour - Sherwood Forest) Wednesday 7th May 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of changes to Inheritance Tax on the Valuation Office Agency’s processing of cases; and whether her Department plans to take steps to help mitigate any increase in demand. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Inheritance Tax (IHT) is the responsibility of HMRC. In matters involving the valuation of land and buildings, HMRC will refer cases to the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) for a specialist view. HMRC decides whether to refer particular property valuation cases to VOA.
Any changes in demand are managed by HMRC and VOA’s existing joint governance groups, which oversee volumes of referrals to VOA across IHT and all other heads of tax.
On 28 April 2025, the government announced that VOA’s functions will be brought into HMRC by the end of this financial year. This will combine the expertise and experience of both organisations in policy, valuations and programme delivery to support government to deliver change more quickly and effectively, including forthcoming policy changes to IHT. |

Taxation
Asked by: Michelle Welsh (Labour - Sherwood Forest) Monday 12th May 2025 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has considered the potential merits of using income from tax obtained by the sale of (a) tobacco, (b) alcohol and (c) gambling on prevention education. Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) The allocations of all revenues received by the Government are decided in the round alongside broader fiscal and economic objectives. Widespread hypothecation of tax revenues can undermine the Government’s ability to flexibly manage the public finances.

3 Jun 2025
Propriety, ethics and the wider standards landscape in the UK Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 26 Aug 2025) The Government has a manifesto commitment to “restore confidence in government and ensure ministers are held to the highest standards". Trust in government and the political system more widely is essential to the proper functioning and prosperity of a democratic state. Concerns with ethical standards are not new, however controversy surrounding the propriety of conduct of those in public life was a particularly prominent part of political life during the last parliament. This has raised questions as to whether the current system of ethical standards regulation is sufficient or even fit for purpose. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. |

Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry. |
