answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>A range of factors are taken into consideration when formulating the government’s public sector pay policy including the impact on jobs, recruitment and retention, earnings in both the public and private sector and inflation. Government will continually assess that balance when considering public pay policy. The Government has introduced the National Living Wage and committed to raising the personal allowance further, to £12,500, by the end of this Parliament. By 2017-18, 1.3 million people on the lowest incomes will have been taken out of income tax altogether, and a typical taxpayer will pay over £1,000 less income tax, compared to 2010-11.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/07/2017 13:20:08 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>We are investing more than £40 billion in Network Rail, including £15 billion of rail enhancements. In 2015 Sir Peter Hendy was asked to replan the programme to put it on a more sustainable footing, and following Sir Peter's review we have revised our approach to enhancements and the way we govern the programme to ensure that it is delivered within the fixed funding available. A key aspect of this approach is the ongoing assessment of investment decisions so that we deliver these improvements in a way that provides best value for taxpayers.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/07/2017 14:08:52 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
