	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2022 answer text <p>It remains the governments intention to lower the earnings limit on Automatic Enrolment as soon as Parliamentary time allows. The latest published estimate of the costs of this change to workplace pensions is set out in the analytical report that accompanied the 2017 Automatic Enrolment (AE) Review, here: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/668657/automatic-enrolment-review-2017-analytical-report.pdf" target="_blank">Automatic enrolment review 2017: analytical report (publishing.service.gov.uk)</a>. <br> <br> It shows that the removal of the AE Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) would initially increase total contributions by £2.6 billion per annum. This represents an initial upper bound cost estimate as, for example, many employers choose to pay above the current automatic enrolment statutory minimum contribution levels.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to build the evidence base and use the latest data to improve the estimates in line with government’s ambition of implementing the AE 2017 Review proposals in the mid-2020s.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 11/07/2022 15:52:01 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
