answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the competent authority responsible for the UK initial public offering (IPO) process.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>Automatic enrolment has been a success with 9.4 million workers enrolled into workplace pensions since 2012.</p><p>Figures from DWP show that the largest increase in participation has been among eligible low earners, with 63% of these workers in the private sector earning between £10,000 and £19,999 now saving into a workplace pension – an increase of 43 percentage points from 2012. Workplace pension participation among eligible men and women has equalised.</p><p>We want to build on the increase in participation. The minimum contributions required under automatic enrolment will increase from the current 2% of qualifying earnings to 5% in April 2018 and 8% in April 2019. This will help to boost pension savings. DWP’s 2017 review of automatic enrolment set out the Government’s ambitions for future reforms to expand the policy.</p><p>We recognise the importance of financial resilience and have therefore been working to provide low-income households with products that make it easier for them to build savings outside of a pension as well, such as Help to Save and the Lifetime ISA.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/03/2018 11:27:31 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
