	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2018 answer text <p>Serco have been appointed as an external supplier to offer information (as opposed to advice) to new and existing SMI customers. The contract was awarded following an open competition and is valued at £4.5 million over 18 months (from July 2017 – Dec 2018). Introduction of the SMI loan will save over £160 million per year to the taxpayer, while continuing to fully achieve the policy objective of supporting homeowners who might otherwise face the risk of repossession. The Government also thought it prudent to have clear separation between information provision about SMI loans and the Department.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 21/02/2018 15:35:38 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
