Meetings of Ministers' Deputies of the Council of Europe are confidential. We consider that the Russian Government should implement the European Court of Human Rights' ruling of July 2014. The UK has made this point on many occasions previously and will continue to press Russia to fulfil its international obligation to comply with the Court's judgement.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect of the UK leaving the EU on the tax liabilities of UK citizens with shareholdings in companies listed in Europe.
There are no specific rules for the taxation of UK citizens on their income and gains from shareholdings in non-UK companies listed in a country within Europe, as opposed to non-UK companies listed in a country not within Europe. Such income and gains will typically be taxable in the UK, subject to any relevant Double Taxation Agreements.

The Premier League has wide-ranging rules in the areas of club ownership and finance. These include that an individual who owns a significant share in one club cannot also own shares in another. To do so would present a conflict of interest and would distort competition within the game. If the Premier League has evidence that this is happening then they should act.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the Government's policy is on executive pay being approved by an annual vote of shareholders.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the Government's policy is on executive pay being approved by an annual vote of shareholders.
Remuneration policies of quoted companies must be put to a binding shareholder vote at least once every three years. A binding shareholder vote is required to approve any Directors’ remuneration that falls outside the scope of the approved remuneration policy.
The annual Directors Remuneration Report on implementation of the remuneration policy is subject to an advisory shareholder vote. If this vote is lost, a company must put a new remuneration policy to a binding shareholder vote within twelve months.
The Government has no current plans to change these existing shareholder voting provisions.

The Government’s response to the Corporate Governance Reform green paper consultation invited The Investment Association to implement its proposal to establish a public register of quoted companies encountering shareholder opposition of 20% or more to executive pay and other resolutions. The Investment Association is working to establish the register by the end of the year and the number of companies included will be confirmed at that time.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to examine the rate of interest charged on loans from shareholders to UK utilities to establish (1) whether the terms, including rates of interest, are commercial, and (2) the tax deductibility of such interest is legitimate.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to examine the rate of interest charged on loans from shareholders to UK utilities to establish (1) whether the terms, including rates of interest, are commercial, and (2) the tax deductibility of such interest is legitimate.
The capital structure of a business and the terms of any loan agreements is a commercial decision for the business and its investors or lenders.
Interest expense incurred by a business is generally deductible in calculating taxable profits, but a number of tax rules limit such deductions. These tax rules apply to utilities just as to other sectors. In particular, transfer pricing rules disallow interest deductions in excess of what would be paid to an independent lender. And an unallowable purpose rule prevents deductions for interest on a loan that does not have a commercial purpose. HMRC robustly enforces these rules to ensure they are applied correctly.
Furthermore, in line with OECD recommendations and following extensive consultation, the government is introducing new corporate interest restriction rules in the current Finance Bill to limit the deductions that a business can obtain for financing costs based on the amount of its earnings taxable in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will introduce legislative proposals to require companies to identify all of their shareholders.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will introduce legislative proposals to require companies to identify all of their shareholders.
Companies are already required to identify all of their shareholders. Companies Act 2006 requires companies to keep a register of members and enter the details of members in this register (in the case of a company limited by shares, the members are the shareholders). The register of members must be kept available for inspection at the company’s registered office and any person may request to inspect it on payment of any fee set by the company (the size of which is limited by legislation).
