As the Government continues this work, we should continue to remember Baroness Greengross and her wisdom and ideas.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 07/09/2022 16:31:21 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the British Medical Association briefing entitled NHS Workforce and the Pension Taxation Crisis, published in June 2022, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of that report's recommendation on introducing a tax unregistered scheme for those impacted by pension taxation in the NHS.

uin	44979
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2022 answer text <p>The Government is aware of interactions between the NHS Pension Scheme and pension tax. Limits on pensions tax relief apply broadly across both the public and private sectors and it is important that these arrangements are fair. Regarding a tax unregistered pension scheme for the NHS, the Government’s position continues to be that the judiciary is in a unique constitutional position and has historically had access to a tax unregistered pension scheme. The majority of NHS staff are better off from being within the current registered pension scheme as they receive tax relief on their pension contributions. The Government has no plans to set up a tax unregistered scheme for the NHS.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Richard Fuller question first answered 07/09/2022 11:12:46 answering member 3912 label Biography information for Richard Fuller
