answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>The scope of the cap is guided by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) independent classification of public sector bodies. The ONS determines whether a body falls within the public sector by reference to objective criteria based upon governance, funding, ownership and function. Magnox Ltd is classified as a public sector body by the ONS classification guide.</p><p> </p><p>We are undertaking staged implementation of the cap, with the first stage capturing: the UK Civil Service, non-departmental public bodies, executive agencies, non-ministerial departments, the National Health Service, academy schools, local government, and police forces. The cap on exit payments will then be extended to the rest of the public sector including Magnox Ltd, as guided by ONS classification, in due course.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 04/06/2019 06:48:05 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2019 answer text <p>Twice a year, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) produce detailed forecasts for the coming five years, assessing the likely impact of policy decisions and expected developments in the economy. A key component of this is the welfare annually managed expenditure (AME) forecast, which estimates future government expenditure on social security benefits and tax credits.</p><p>The current welfare freeze, which was announced in 2015, runs from 2016/17 to 2019/20. As such, the cost of resuming the uprating of frozen benefits from 2020/21 is already accounted for in the welfare forecast – which combines DWP, HMRC and BEIS AME expenditure. The OBR does not routinely disaggregate the cost of uprating within the forecast.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 04/06/2019 06:46:58 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
