For what reason Ray McCann was appointed Chair of the Independent Review of the Loan Charge.

Reply

As I set out in my letter to the reviewer, which was published alongside the terms of reference, I asked Ray McCann to lead the review on the basis of his experience, understanding of the issue, and respect across the tax industry.

Whether the Government plans to provide the independent review of the loan charge with data on recent trends in the level of suicides from people subject to the loan charge.

Reply

The Government takes issues relating to loss of life or serious injury extremely seriously. It is for the independent reviewer to decide how to conduct the review. As the terms of reference set out, the reviewer is expected to draw upon information and analysis provided by HM Treasury and HMRC during the review. HM Treasury and HMRC must make all possible efforts to support the review team’s work by providing them with any information that they request in a timely fashion unless there is a legal reason not to.

What discussions her Department has had with transport companies providing services for children with SEND on changes to employer National Insurance contributions.

Reply

Home-to-school travel is an integral part of the school system and provides a valuable service on which many families rely. Officials across departments engage regularly with local authorities to understand the challenges they face and will continue to monitor this situation. The Department for Education do not expect there to be a significant impact on home-to-school travel for children with special educational needs and disabilities. Local authorities are responsible for arranging home-to-school travel and deliver this through a range of in-house services and external providers.The £515m of additional funding made available to help local government manage the impact of changes to employer NICs has been determined based on a national assessment of the costs for directly employed staff across the public sector. However, this funding is unringfenced and it is for LAs to determine how to use this funding across relevant services and responsibilities.

How much revenue the Crown Estate will generate from the partnership with GB Energy.

Reply

Like other commercial businesses, The Crown Estate does not provide forecasts of its future profits. As announced in July 2024, Great British Energy and The Crown Estate will work together to accelerate the development of the seabed and supporting infrastructure along the coast of England, Wales and Northern Ireland, creating a pipeline of sites for private developers to invest in. In September 2024, The Crown Estate set out its approach to future offshore wind in a report jointly published with Great British Energy. This established early thinking on a more strategic approach to leasing the seabed for future offshore wind development.
