	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether the Government allows new employees to qualify for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme if they can evidence that they started their employment prior to 19 March 2020 even if their employer had not registered them by that date with HMRC.
	tabling member constituency	Chesterfield
	tabling member printed	Mr Toby Perkins
	uin	38470
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2020 answer text The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is open to any individual who was on an employer’s PAYE payroll on or before 19 March 2020 and for whom HMRC received an RTI submission notifying payment in respect of that employee on or before the 19 March 2020. Processing claims for the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme where HMRC do not have RTI data by 19 March would require much greater manual handling by HMRC, which would significantly slow down the system while risking substantial levels of fraud. It would also require greater resource for HMRC when they are already under significant pressure to deliver the system designed. Those not eligible for the scheme may have access to other support Government is providing, including a package of temporary welfare measures and up to three months’ mortgage payment holidays for those struggling with their mortgage payments. answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 01/05/2020 12:55:29 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2021 answer text <p>Treasury ministers are in regular conversations with mortgage lenders about market conditions. Ultimately, the decision of a lender to offer products to customers is a commercial one, determined by their risk appetites, in which the government does not seek to interfere. Lenders will take into account the circumstances of individual customers, such as the security of their income (for which they may consider Self Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS) payments); not having significant other debt; the borrower’s credit score and the loan to value of their mortgage.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is clear that lenders should treat customers fairly, especially in the current context of Covid-19 and will continue to monitor the mortgage market and engage with industry on the availability of mortgage products.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 20/01/2021 12:37:53 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
