answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to public service pensions which are fair to workers and fair to other taxpayers. The tapered annual allowance is focussed on the highest earning pension savers, to ensure that the tax relief they receive is not disproportionate to that of other savers. The Government is aware of specific concerns raised by some high-earning NHS doctors impacted by annual allowance tax charges. As the Chancellor said at the Treasury Select Committee, we are currently in discussions with the Department of Health and Social Care about providing additional pension flexibility for NHS doctors affected by annual allowance tax charges.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 21/05/2019 11:47:15 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

That’s why we’re investing record amounts in infrastructure, supporting businesses to grow and keeping taxes low. Wages are growing strongly, at 3.2% in the latest data and have outstripped inflation for 12 consecutive months.</p><p> </p><p>The government has an aspiration to end low pay and will set a new remit for the Low Pay Commission, for the years beyond 2020, later this year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 21/05/2019 11:53:21 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

There are already exemptions to the ‘no recourse to public funds’ condition for those in genuine need, such as those facing destitution or to protect the welfare of a child.
