Mr. Prisk: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment HM Treasury has made regarding reform of the Landfill Tax Credit
Scheme; what research he has commissioned into the effectiveness of the scheme; and if he will make a statement. [101054]
John Healey: The Government reviewed the role of the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme following consultation with stakeholders last
summer. In addition, the Public Accounts Committee, the Environment, Transport and Regions Select Committee, and the National Audit
Office have all published reports on the scheme. These have all concluded that evaluation of the scheme is difficult or impossible
given the way in which it has been set up with no central collection of information on its outcomes. The select committee reports
have criticised the effectiveness of the scheme and these comments were taken into account in the Government's decision to reform
the scheme.
The Government have been discussing with stakeholders the best ways of addressing the most serious criticisms in the operation of
the successor tax credit scheme. Any plans for reform of the successor scheme will be set out on a Budget timetable.
