answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government response to the second independent review of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment, published on 18 December 2017, agreed with the recommendation that claimants should be given a clear explanation of their responsibilities and what information they should provide with their claim. It further set out that we will develop video content for PIP claimants, outlining the claim process and setting out the responsibilities of the claimant to provide supporting information with their claim. A series of four short videos are currently in development which will explain the PIP customer journey. The videos focus on the key stages of pre-claim, making a claim, providing supporting information and the PIP decision, and we aim to have them available to claimants in early 2018.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 21/12/2017 15:45:23 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government established an independent Financial Policy Committee (FPC) to identify, monitor and take action to remove or reduce systemic risks with a view to protecting and enhancing the resilience of the UK financial system. In March 2017 the FPC judged the appropriate Tier 1 capital requirement for the UK banking system, in aggregate and net of any countercyclical capital buffer, to be 13.5% of risk-weighted assets, as currently measured. The FPC’s judgement of the appropriate level of capital for the banking system was calibrated such that banks could absorb the cumulative losses in historical stress episodes and continue to provide essential services to the real economy.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is supporting lending to SMEs in a variety of ways, including: establishing the British Business Bank to make finance markets work better for small businesses; supporting challenger banks; introducing a bespoke regime for peer-to-peer lending; and structural interventions such as the bank referral scheme and the SME credit data sharing scheme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 21/12/2017 11:05:51 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
