Of these, approximately 20 per cent have been killed in the conflict and around 40 per cent have returned to the UK. They have all been investigated and the majority have been assessed to pose no, or a low security risk. For reasons of national security, it would not be appropriate to breakdown these figures further.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 29/03/2019 16:14:47 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The Department has sought to make available to NHS Pension Scheme members all possible flexibility under Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs legislation and the current fiscal framework for public sector pension schemes.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has therefore recently made changes to the NHS Pension Scheme to extend the scope of the ‘Scheme Pays’ facility. The ‘Scheme Pays’ facility allows scheme members to manage tax liabilities by paying annual allowance charges from the value of their pension benefits rather than upfront. This facility has been extended to cover payment of tax charges of any amount, and those arising from the tapered annual allowance.</p><p> </p><p>The Department recognises that the tax implications of the annual allowance, particularly the effects of the taper, may contribute to decisions from consultants to retire early or limit their National Health Service commitments. We are also listening carefully to senior doctors and NHS employers about those concerns. The Government keeps the impact of public sector pay and pensions policies under constant review.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 08/04/2019 13:51:45 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond

	uin	247725
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2019 answer text <p>The ‘Scheme Pays’ facility allows NHS Pension Scheme members to settle their annual allowance tax charges without needing to find funds upfront. However, HM Revenue and Customs requires that if a defined benefit pension scheme pays an annual allowance charge there must be an adjustment to the benefits the member has accrued. The value of the scheme pays charge, plus interest, is recouped from the value of the member’s pension on retirement. The interest rate for scheme pays charges is set at the scheme discount rate. The discount rate for public service pension schemes is currently consumer price index plus 2.4%, which represents the notional rate of investment return on contribution income.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 30/04/2019 16:21:04 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
