Carer's Allowance is not a payment for the services of caring, therefore it is payable for the care of only one severely disabled person, even if the carer is looking after two or more people and there are no plans to change this policy.</p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 08/09/2014 15:10:42 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The responsibility for the oversight of work-based pensions in the UK rests with the Pensions Regulator which was set up under the Pensions Act 2004. Parliament gave the Pensions Regulator operational independence, which means that Ministers are not involved in decisions to exercise its powers or able to intervene in its casework. It would therefore not be appropriate for Ministers to comment on any individual pension scheme. Where it appears that scheme abandonment has taken place, it is a matter for the Regulator to establish whether the legal tests in relation to its ‘anti-avoidance' powers, including the power to issue contribution notices, are met.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 10/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
