This includes commissioning further data, research and analytical work by the Equality Hub to clarify the scale, and drivers, of the gaps in evidence highlighted by the Report. This vital work will help the government take appropriate evidence-based action to address the disparities.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Government expects that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will not be used by many public sector organisations, as most public sector employees are continuing to provide essential public services, or contribute to the response to the coronavirus outbreak. Where employers receive public funding for staff costs, and that funding is continuing, the Government expects employers to use that money to continue to pay staff in the usual fashion, and not to furlough them. This also applies to non-public sector employers who receive public funding for staff costs. Organisations who are receiving public funding specifically to provide services necessary to respond to coronavirus are not expected to furlough staff. In a small number of cases, for example where organisations are not primarily funded by the Government and whose staff cannot be redeployed to assist with the coronavirus response, the scheme may be appropriate for some staff.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Tax Credit system has a degree of flexibility built in, in order to help claimants manage changes in income. The Tax Credit disregard means that the first £2,500 of an increase or decrease in household income, compared with the previous tax year is disregarded. Therefore, carers, NHS staff and other key workers who take on additional hours and experience an increase in income of up to £2,500 per year will see no change in their overall Tax Credit award.</p><p> </p><p>The Government also recognises that Tax Credits were introduced in the early 2000s and no longer fully reflect the world of work for many people. That is why we are introducing Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit replaces Tax Credits and other legacy benefits, to provide a single system of means tested support for working age people. Universal Credit is assessed and paid monthly and is based on claimants’ actual earnings in the month, rather than their annual income.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire
