	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Government is supportive of credit unions and has taken a number of steps to assist them, most recently including:</p><ul><li>The Department for Work and Pensions investment of up to £38 million in an expansion project for credit unions. The project aims to help credit unions expand and grow, enabling them to provide financial services to more people.</li><li>From 1 April this year the Government increased the cap on the maximum interest rate a credit union can charge for loans from 2% to 3% per month. This will allow credit unions to make more loans to their members without making a loss. Even if they choose to charge the higher rate of interest the cost of borrowing from a credit union will still be significantly cheaper than many high cost lenders.</li></ul><p>The Government intends that these measures will help the credit union sector go from strength to strength, so it can be a viable option for financial services provision for an even wider range of consumers.</p> question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Government take the enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) very seriously and HMRC reviews every complaint that is referred to it, investigating the complaint and, in addition, carrying out targeted enforcement where we identify a high risk of non-payment of NMW.</p><p> </p><p>The information for the time period requested is detailed in the table below. HMRC does not keep statistics at regional level for the purposes of completed inspections and non-compliance. However, the location of the employers prosecuted is included.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial</p><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Completed</p><p>Inspections</p></td><td><p>Non-</p><p>Compliance</p></td><td><p>Prosecutions</p></td><td><p>Employer</p><p>Location</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009-10</p></td><td><p>3643</p></td><td><p>1256</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>2904</p></td><td><p>1140</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>Liverpool</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>2534</p></td><td><p>968</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td> </td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>1693</p></td><td><p>736</p></td><td><p>1</p></td><td><p>London</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>1455</p></td><td><p>680</p></td><td><p>0</p></td><td> </td></tr></tbody></table><p>The majority of employers identified as paying below the NMW will pay arrears on receipt of a formal Notice of Underpayment. Where they don't, HMRC will pursue recovery through the civil courts. For deliberate non-compliance or obstructive behaviour, HMRC operates a policy of selective and exemplary criminal investigation action to bolster our overall enforcement strategy. Criminal investigations rarely result in arrears being paid to workers and are reserved only for the most serious cases. All of the prosecutions noted in the table above were successful.</p> question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00
