question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of increasing employer contributions to public pensions from 2020-21 in the next Spending Review.
tabling member constituency	Hendon
tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	226089
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>Employer contributions in the unfunded public service pension schemes are set following quadrennial valuations. The current valuations, which assess the schemes as at 31 March 2016, are in the process of being finalised. As I announced in a Written Ministerial Statement on 6 September 2018, these valuations indicate employers need to pay more towards the schemes because of changes to the Office for Budget Responsibility’s long-term GDP growth forecasts, reflected in the SCAPE discount rate. The new employer contribution rates will take effect in 2019 and will apply for a 4-year period.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 04/03/2019 12:28:07 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

uin	231994
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2019 answer text <p>The government has committed to increase the recycling of packaging waste and the recyclability of packaging. The recent Resources and Waste Strategy announced that the government would improve recycling rates by ensuring a consistent set of dry recyclable materials is collected from all households and businesses and that every householder and appropriate businesses have a weekly separate food waste collection. For packaging waste, we will invoke the ‘polluter pays’ principle and extended producer responsibility for packaging, ensuring that producers pay the full net costs of managing packaging waste at end of life. Government will also ensure that local authorities are resourced to meet the new net costs arising from policies within the Resources and Waste Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/03/2019 17:04:49 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The Chancellor has been clear that raising productivity is the only way to expand the economy in the long term. Doing so will mean encouraging growth in the manufacturing sector, boosting the adoption of technology and enabling more British firms to export. That’s why we increased the National Productivity Investment Fund to £37bn at Budget 2018, and have announced a wide range of productivity enhancing measures at previous fiscal events.
