Friend, the Minister for Defence Personnel, Welfare and Veterans (Anna Soubry) on 15 October, she confirmed that the facilitation of payroll deduction for Credit Unions is technically possible and that our payroll provider is engaged with officials to scope and cost such deductions. Further work is underway to determine the criteria for access to this facility, and to develop an education campaign for our personnel so they may make informed choices.</p><p> </p><p>Any payroll changes need to be delivered in one of the three releases per year of the intranet-based personnel administration system we use. It is now too late to deliver in November 2014. March 2015 is dedicated to the new pension scheme, therefore the most likely delivery date will be July 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 18/11/2014 17:43:55 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever attachment 1 file name HOC 208271 6 October 2014.doc title Hansard Extract 6 October 2014
