	uin	115956
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The unemployment rate in Wolverhampton North East is less than half it was in 2010. At 7.1%, it is down from 12.1% a year ago and 16.4% in 2010. There are 5,100 more people in work in Wolverhampton North East than in 2010.</p><p> </p><p>Jobcentre staff are doing an effective job helping people into work and 90% of Jobseekers end their claim within a year. We are proud of this record but not complacent. That is why we are currently introducing targeted support for young people, people with disabilities and the long-term unemployed.</p><p> </p><p>Reforming the welfare system is key to helping people into work. Under the last Labour Government, some benefit claimants lost £1 for every £1 they earned meaning it didn’t pay to work and people were left trapped on benefits. Under the new system, people benefit from every extra hour worked, so work really pays and people have the opportunity to become more financially secure and develop skills to access greater opportunities.</p><p> </p><p>Only by securing a strong economy can we create the jobs people need to be financially secure. That’s why we’ve kept public spending under control while acting to boost productivity over the long-term by increasing the National Productivity Investment Fund by £8 billion. As part of locally specific support for the West Midlands, we are providing up to £4.7m for a trial in the region to help boost the prospects of disadvantaged individuals getting jobs and progress the careers of those on low incomes.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 30/11/2017 16:48:16 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>Treasury Ministers and officials receive representations from a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors as part of the process of policy development and delivery.</p><p> </p><p>The Government believes that it is important that consumers have the information they need to make sensible decisions about their money. In 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published a study of the cash savings market, which concluded that competition in the sector was not working as effectively as it could be. As a result, the FCA developed a series of measures to improve outcomes for consumers which included introducing rules applicable from 1 December 2016 to improve the information firms make available to consumers and to make it easier for them to switch accounts. This included guidance on the prominent display of interest rates and notifications.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the FCA trialled a ‘sunlight’ remedy, which aimed to bring to light firms’ strategies towards their longstanding customers. This involved the publication of the lowest interest rates offered on easy access cash savings accounts and easy access cash ISAs on the FCA’s website between 2015 and 2016. The FCA is currently evaluating the effectiveness of the ‘sunlight’ remedy trial and considering whether to introduce this disclosure into rules and whether any other actions may be needed to achieve more effective competition.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 30/11/2017 16:41:53 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
