Exiting the EU: Costs
"For the first time in my parliamentary career, I agree with the hon. Member for Bolsover (Mr Skinner). He is absolutely right. The 60%-odd of people in Wellingborough who voted to leave would want to know what we were doing with £60 billion. They would want it to be spent …..."Peter Bone - View Speech

Paradise Papers
"There seems to be an extraordinary misunderstanding on the part of the shadow Chancellor about the difference between avoidance and evading. Evading is wholly illegal; avoidance is normal. People who put their money into an ISA are avoiding tax—that is completely legal. There is a moral issue. If you happen …..."Peter Bone - View Speech

Thursday 12th October 2017
Asked by:
Peter Bone (Independent - Wellingborough)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent steps he has taken to support small local charities.
Answered by Andrew Jones
The Government recognises the vitally important work the charity sector does in the UK, which is why we currently provide tax relief to charities and donors worth over £5 billion per year, including over £1.2 billion for Gift Aid alone. The Government is also committed to supporting small charities to become more independent, resilient and sustainable. Recent work includes the announcement of a further three years of the Small Charities Fundraising Training Programme and work to explore the role of small charities in public services. On the 15th December the country will celebrate the second Local Charities Day highlighting the fantastic work of small, local charities.
Smaller charities will also benefit from recent changes to the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS) that allows eligible charities and community amateur sports clubs to claim top-up payments on small donations made by cash or contactless technology of £20 or less. The rules were simplified and the maximum annual donation GASDS limit was increased to £8,000, allowing charities to now claim up to £2,000 per year in payments.
Written Question
Friday 21st July 2017
Asked by:
Peter Bone (Independent - Wellingborough)
Question
to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the UK's financial contribution to the EU in 2017-18.
Answered by Elizabeth Truss
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) produces an independent forecast of both UK gross contributions to the EU and contributions net of EU receipts administered by the UK public sector.
The OBR’s latest forecast, at March 2017, puts the UK’s post-rebate gross contribution to the EU across 2017-18 at £15bn. The UK’s receipts administered via government departments are forecast to be £5.1bn. This figure excludes receipts directly administered by the European Commission, for example science funding, which do not form part of the public finance calculations.

Economy and Jobs
"I am very surprised that the shadow Chancellor talks about jobs, because every single Labour Government in history has left government with higher unemployment than when they came to power. We have lowered unemployment and got more people into work. How can he possibly suggest that it would be better …..."Peter Bone - View Speech
