answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Work and Pensions published guidance for departments and officials on how the Family Test should be applied when formulating policy and my department follows that guidance, which is attached and can be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/family-test-assessing-the-impact-of-policies-on-families" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/family-test-assessing-the-impact-of-policies-on-families</a>.</p><p> </p><p>We do not hold a central record of the amount of policies assessed against the Family Test as it is an integral part of the policy making process. It is applied in a proportionate way in the development of all new policy in line with the Family Test guidance. As a result potential impacts of policy on family functioning and relationships have been identified and brought to the attention of Ministers where appropriate, and as part of the normal process of agreeing policy.</p><p>We have published assessments of the impact on families on a number of occasions when legislation was introduced to Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>The Childcare Act 2016 assessment can be found attached and also at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-bill-impact-assessment" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/childcare-bill-impact-assessment</a>.</p><p>The Education and Adoption Act 2016 assessment can be found attached and also at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/education-and-adoption-bill-impact-assessment" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/education-and-adoption-bill-impact-assessment</a>.</p><p>The Higher Education and Research Act 2017 assessment has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses and can also be found at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/528005/bis-16-295-he-research-bill-detailed-impact-assessment.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/528005/bis-16-295-he-research-bill-detailed-impact-assessment.pdf</a>.</p><p>The Children &amp; Social Work Act 2017 assessment has been placed in the Libraries of both Houses and can also be found at: <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/documents/impact-assessments/IA16-008.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/documents/impact-assessments/IA16-008.pdf</a>.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name Family Test Guidance.pdf title Family_Test_Guidance 2 file name Childcare_Bill_Impact_Assessment.pdf title Childcare_Impact_Bill_Assessment 3 file name Education_and_adoption_bill_impact_assessment.pdf title Education_and_adoption_bill_impact_assessment question first answered 18/09/2018 15:29:04 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>The majority of pensioners have their State Pension paid into a bank account. As most bank accounts can be accessed at the Post Office, claimants can collect their payments that way. Since January, 99% of banks’ personal customers are able to withdraw cash, deposit cash and cheques, and make balance enquiries at a Post Office counter via its network of 11,600 branches. The Department also has arrangements in place to ensure that the majority of those who cannot access a bank account, can collect their State Pension at the Post Office using a Post Office card account.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 17/07/2018 13:23:09 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe
