have estimates available on the number of people invited to sign up for a Help to
Save account. Customers are being invited to join the trial through the points of
contact that tax credits and Universal Credit customers already have with Government,
including the HMRC mobile app and Personal Tax Accounts. Once they have been invited,
customers are able to share the information they have received about the scheme. We
cannot track the number of people who might have entered the scheme through such a
referral.</p><p><strong> </strong></p></li></ol>
