answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2016 answer text <p>The government is committed to improving financial capability among the public and recognises that increased financial capability for consumers will lead to better outcomes for both individuals and the wider economy. Helping hard-working people achieve their aspirations at every stage of their lives is at the heart of our long term plan. That is why we launched the Public Financial Guidance consultation in Budget 2016 to seek input on what role the government should play in promoting financial capability<strong>,</strong> and how the public provision of free-to-client, impartial financial guidance should be structured to give consumers the information they need to make financial decisions. The consultation closed on 8 June. The government is currently considering the responses and will respond in the Autumn. The government recognises the importance of giving young people the skills they need to make financial decisions, which is why financial education has been on the national secondary school curriculum in England since September 2014.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin grouped question UIN 40579 question first answered 29/06/2016 13:02:22 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin
