answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>No estimate has been carried out on the cost of providing tax relief for non-taxpayers enrolled in net-pay schemes. Legislation determines the difference between net-pay and relief-at-source systems, and ultimately, it is for pension schemes to choose which to apply. To help employers choose an appropriate pension scheme, The Pensions Regulator offers guidance, including information on the different methods by which tax incentives are obtained.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 09/10/2017 12:53:27 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

uin	10378
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>The right to freedom of religion is enshrined in the Nepali Constitution of September 2015, however we are concerned that provisions around changing religion are open to interpretation. Freedom of religion or belief – particularly conversion - remains a sensitive issue. Our Embassy in Kathmandu monitors the human rights situation closely and has consistently encouraged the Government of Nepal and members of Nepal's parliament to ensure Nepal meets its international human rights obligations, this includes freedom of religion or belief, and we will continue to do so. I also raise these issues with the Nepalese Ambassador to London at a meeting on 9 October 2017.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 09/10/2017 15:35:15 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
