tabling member printed	Mike Kane
uin	197059
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p>The Government is supportive of credit unions and has taken a number of steps to assist them, most recently including:</p><ul><li>The Department for Work and Pensions investment of up to £38 million in an expansion project for credit unions. The project aims to help credit unions expand and grow, enabling them to provide financial services to more people.</li><li>From 1 April this year the Government increased the cap on the maximum interest rate a credit union can charge for loans from 2% to 3% per month. This will allow credit unions to make more loans to their members without making a loss. Even if they choose to charge the higher rate of interest the cost of borrowing from a credit union will still be significantly cheaper than many high cost lenders.</li></ul><p>The Government intends that these measures will help the credit union sector go from strength to strength, so it can be a viable option for financial services provision for an even wider range of consumers.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

HMRC's administrative systems do not separately identify mortgage interest payments against residential property from other financial costs incurred across all types of property businesses (both residential and non-residential). Moreover property income is grouped with other income in the calculation of tax liabilities, and consequently the amounts of specific deductions effective against each rate of tax is not precisely defined.</p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

tabling member constituency	Airdrie and Shotts
tabling member printed	Pamela Nash
uin	196927
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/05/2014 answer text <p>The Government takes the enforcement of the National Minimum Wage (NMW) very seriously. HMRC review every complaint that is referred to them by the Pay and Work Rights Helpline. In addition, by collating and analysing data received from various sources, HMRC ensure targeted enforcement through robust risk assessment processes to identify employers across the United Kingdom who are more likely to be not paying NMW.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC deploys resources to risk, so work relating to a specific geographical area is not always undertaken by the NMW team based in that area. In addition, the NMW Dynamic Response Team (DRT) provides a multi-agency response to emerging risks, high profile casework and compliance initiatives across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Staff across HMRC contribute to enforcing the NMW, including people who work in legal advice, debt management, technical support and criminal investigation, but HMRC does not record the specific numbers of those staff involved, beyond those identified above.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
