Taxation (Energy and Vehicles) Bill
My Lords, it is a pleasure to close this Second Reading debate on the Taxation (Energy and Vehicles) Bill. I am very grateful to the select group of noble Lords for their contributions and questions.
The measures contained in the Bill will support bus
That the Bill be now read a second time.
The noble Baroness is absolutely right about the importance of getting on with housing and infrastructure, and that is what this Government are seeking to achieve. She is absolutely right to say that a resilient and affordable insurance market is necessa
The Government have already committed significant investment in the transition to net zero, including £2.6 billion to decarbonise transport, £1.4 billion to support the uptake of electric vehicles, £2.7 billion a year for sustainable farming and nature r
I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her question. She is absolutely right in what she said about climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change—the world’s foremost authority on climate change science—established in its sixth assessmen
It is a great shame what my noble friend says about the Opposition; with such a significant issue as climate change and the importance of net zero, we want a cross-party consensus to drive forward the measures necessary in this country. He is absolutely
I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her Question. I am very conscious that she is far more expert in these matters than I am. As she knows, the independent Climate Change Committee has made recommendations on the preparedness of the UK for current or
My Lords, climate change clearly poses a long-term risk to financial stability and household resilience. The Government’s remit to the Financial Policy Committee ensures that it considers climate-related risks as relevant to its primary objective of main
As I said, the Climate Change Committee has assessed that the insurance gap is currently low relative to most countries. Flood risk, though, is the most immediate concern for UK households. The Environment Agency’s latest flood risk assessment indicated
I am grateful to the noble Earl for his support for many of the Government’s measures in this area. As he knows, the Financial Policy Committee is responsible for identifying, monitoring and taking action to remove or reduce systemic risks with a view to
With the greatest respect, I think it might be both. We have to adapt and take long-term action to get down to net zero, as the right reverend Prelate says. I agree on both points.
There is a great deal in what my noble friend says. Obviously, I cannot prejudge the outcome of the review, but the principles that he sets out for what the definition should look like sound very sensible and important. We will now review the situation b
Yes, I think I can; I think that is broadly along the lines of what I covered in my previous answer—that those who are nearing the end of their life should be able to get faster and easier access to certain benefits. As the noble Baroness is asking, thos
I am grateful to my noble friend. He is absolutely right that the current rules are obviously intended to provide flexibility, but the downside is that the permissive nature of those rules means that individuals may experience varying hurdles to access,
I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her ongoing championing of financial education. I know it is something that she feels passionately about and we have discussed it before. As she knows, financial education now forms part of the school curriculum in
Yes, I agree with my noble friend, and I am grateful to him for what he says about the review. As he says, individual private pension schemes have their own requirements for terminally ill people to access their pension savings. That does mean that, too
I am grateful to the noble Baroness for her support for what I said. As she said, unlike a personal workplace pension, which can potentially be drawn down earlier, a state pension can be accessed only at the state pension age, and there are no current pl
I am very grateful to my noble friend for her question. I agree with her that the current definition for when someone with a terminal illness can access their pension savings is clearly outdated and does not align with wider legislation, including the DW
My Lords, currently, individuals with a life expectancy of less than 12 months may take a serious ill health lump sum at any age, subject to medical evidence and scheme rules. This is tax-free below age 75, up to £1.073 million, after which it is taxed a
