answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting savers at all stages of life and has introduced a range of measures in recent years to help people build their savings in the way that is right for them.</p><p> </p><p>This year we are introducing a new Help to Save scheme to support working families on low incomes to build up a rainy-day fund, by offering a 50% bonus on up to £50 of monthly savings. We have also increased the ISA allowance by a record amount to £20,000 and introduced a Personal Savings Allowance of up to £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and £500 for higher rate taxpayers. Thanks to these measures over 95% of people pay no tax on their savings income.</p><p> </p><p>Alongside savings measures, the Government has made significant progress on reducing taxes so that working families can take home more of what they earn. As a result of increases to the personal allowance, a typical basic rate taxpayer will pay £1,075 less income tax in 2018-19, compared to 2010-11.</p><p> </p><p>The Chancellor of the Exchequer keeps all tax policy under review to be considered as part of the budget process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 05/07/2018 15:34:34 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2018 answer text <p>We take the operational resilience of the finance sector and any detrimental impacts very seriously. HM Treasury works closely with the Bank of England, the Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) (collectively the ‘Financial Authorities’) – as well as other organisations where relevant such as the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) - to improve the resilience of the sector and to respond to any major disruption. As part of this work the Financial Authorities routinely assess the impact of any major operational disruption and as noted in the record of the Financial Policy Committee meeting on 19 June 2018, this incident will inform further work by the regulators.</p><p> </p><p>You may find it helpful to note that the Chief Executive of Visa Europe set out the impact of the service disruption in a letter to the Chair of the Treasury Select Committee.
