The report will include an assessment of the exercise of the functions of the NCA in Northern Ireland. It further requires the Director General of the National Crime Agency to attend the Northern Ireland Policing Board and, in order to assist them, the National Crime Agency is to provide, on a quarterly basis, performance reporting on the exercise of the NCA’s functions in Northern Ireland which will be aligned to the key threat areas in the National Control Strategy, as outlined in the NCA’s Annual Plan. The NCA is committed to playing its role in tackling serious and organised crime in Northern Ireland.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 12/01/2016 15:41:13 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2016 answer text <p>In January 2015, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) published its Cash Savings Market Study report, which found that competition in the cash savings market was not working well for many consumers. In response, the FCA has consulted on and will subsequently be introducing new rules from 1 December 2016 designed to improve competition by encouraging easier and quicker switching and improving the information savers receive.</p><br /><p>These new rules will require firms to provide key information in a product summary box at point of sale and to be clear on what interest rate consumers are getting. The FCA will also introduce a new rule which requires firms to provide a prompt and efficient service so that a customer can switch to a better account offered by the same firm.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 11/01/2016 15:29:20 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

Alongside this, HMRC is running a national marketing campaign to remind customers of the 31 January deadline. Support is available to those who need it as HMRC is putting hundreds of extra people on its helplines during this very busy period, and has introduced new support channels like webchat and online video guidance.</p><br /> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 11/01/2016 16:57:15 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke
