The Government recognises that widespread free access to cash remains extremely important to the day-to-day lives of many consumers and businesses in the UK. Government has been engaging and will continue to engage with the regulators and industry, including LINK, to ensure that it is maintained.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government established the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) in 2015 with a statutory objective to ensure that the UK\u2019s payment systems work in the interests of their users.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of this, the PSR is monitoring developments within ATM provision. The PSR recently commissioned work to understand the impact on the provision of free-to-use ATMs that a reduction in interchange fees may have. They have also set out three requirements of LINK: that LINK must maintain the current geographical spread of ATMs; that any changes made to interchange fees must be incremental to allow LINK to monitor the impact and take action if the impact is not as expected; and for a greater focus on LINK\u2019s financial inclusion programme, to continue to fill gaps in the network. The PSR has committed to using its powers to act should LINK behave in a way that conflicts with its statutory objectives. The PSR has recently published a summary of their work to date, which can be found at https://www.psr.org.uk/psr-focus/the-UK-ATM-network.<\/p>

<\/p>

Following the publication of these three criteria, LINK, the scheme behind the UK\u2019s ATM network, committed to maintaining an extensive network of free-to-use cash machines, and to ensuring that the present geographical spread of ATMs is maintained. To do this, LINK will bolster its Financial Inclusion Programme, which ensures the provision of ATMs in certain areas where demand would not otherwise make one viable. LINK will also protect all free-to-use ATMs which are a kilometre or more from the next nearest free-to-use ATM, and ensure that any community that loses ATM access because of a branch closure has a free ATM provided.<\/p>

<\/p>

Furthermore, LINK will do an annual review the impact of the interchange fee reduction as it is phased in over the next four years. In addition, LINK will set up publicly available monitoring on its website of every area of the country showing free ATM availability, and highlight any areas where free ATM availability is lost.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-03-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "130140"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-03-05T15:51:05.21Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cash Dispensing: Fees and Charges"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what representations his Department has made to LINK on its decision to change the interchange fee mechanisms paid by banks to ATM operators.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4571", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gill Furniss"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sheffield, Brightside and Hillsborough"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gill Furniss"} ], "uin" : "130142"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/843730", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/843730/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The government are determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum and National Living Wage (NMW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) review all complaints that are referred to them.<\/p>

Where arrears are identified HMRC complete risk-based assurance checks to ensure employers have repaid the arrears owed to workers. If employers do not repay arrears to workers HMRC will pursue civil recovery of arrears through the courts.<\/p>

Since 2010, over 9700 people in England and Wales have been successfully convicted for money laundering offences \u2013 most of these are under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) which provides for various money laundering offences, including where an individual knows or suspects they may be facilitating money laundering or seeks to conceal criminal property. The Money Laundering Regulations 2007 and the subsequent update, the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (MLRs) focus on ensuring regulated businesses put in place controls to guard against money laundering or terrorist finance. Supervisors are appointed by the Treasury to monitor compliance with these regulations and primarily use a range of supervisory tools to promote compliance, including warning notices, action plans, financial penalties or withdrawal of the right to practice. The vast majority of breaches of the MLRs are remedied or penalised using these supervisory tools. Since 2010 there were over 3,539 fines issued on firms and individuals across the regime.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-20T17:16:01.877Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Money Laundering"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people have been (a) convicted and (b) fined under the Money Laundering Regulations 2007 by offence since 2010.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4657", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anneliese Dodds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Anneliese Dodds"} ], "uin" : "127856"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/837880", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/837880/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

To date no prosecutions have been either brought to court or completed under the \u2018failure to prevent the facilitation of UK and foreign tax evasion\u2019 clause of the Criminal Finances Act 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

The new offences will be committed where a relevant body fails to prevent an associated person criminally facilitating the evasion of a tax, and this will be the case whether the tax evaded is owed in the UK or in a foreign country.<\/p>

<\/p>

The failure to prevent the facilitation of a UK tax offence by a corporate body or partnership will be investigated by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The failure to prevent the facilitation of a foreign tax offence by a corporate body or partnership will be investigated by the Serious Fraud Office or the National Crime Agency (NCA).<\/p>

<\/p>

Neither HMRC nor the NCA are prosecuting authorities. All prosecutions leading from their investigations have to be authorised by the relevant independent prosecuting authority, which for England and Wales would be the Crown Prosecution Service; for Scotland, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service; and for Northern Ireland, the Public Prosecution Service for NI.<\/p>

<\/p>

The offences are not retrospective and therefore only apply to acts of criminal facilitation undertaken from 30 September 2017.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3935", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mel Stride"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Central Devon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mel Stride"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-20T16:20:18.737Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Tax Evasion: Prosecutions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many prosecutions have been (a) brought to court and (b) completed for offences under the failure to prevent the facilitation of UK and foreign tax evasion clause of the Criminal Finances Act 2017; and how much has been collected in fines from those convicted of such offences to date.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4657", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anneliese Dodds"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Anneliese Dodds"} ], "uin" : "126947"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/837338", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/837338/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Between Q2 2016 and Q1 2017, individuals accessed over £6.4 billion from defined contribution pension pots through 1.4 million payments.<\/p>

<\/p>

Early evidence collected by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and HMRC suggests that individuals are making decisions to cash in small pots while drawing down a steadier income stream from larger pension pots. However, as of March 2017, 5.8 million defined contribution pots eligible for withdrawal, or 80% of all eligible pots, remained untouched. Overall it is too early to draw definitive behavioural lessons from the data that is currently available on withdrawals from defined contribution pots, given that pension freedoms have only been in place for little over two years.<\/p>

<\/p>

The FCA is also undertaking a review of the post-freedoms retirement market and published its Retirement Outcomes Review interim report in July 2017. The final report is due to be published in the first half of 2018. The Government welcomes the FCA\u2019s work in this area, awaits the publication of the final report, and will carefully consider any recommendations contained within it.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4051", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Glen"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Salisbury"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "John Glen"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-12T15:30:06.99Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-02-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pensions: Personal Savings"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate he has made of the number of people who have withdrawn their retirement savings from a private pension in the last 12 months; and what assessment he has made of the long-term effect of the early withdrawal of those retirement savings on the retirement incomes of those people.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4637", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Frith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Bury North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "James Frith"} ], "uin" : "126457"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/833887", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/833887/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

HMRC and Department for Education commissioned a feasibility study into evaluating the impact of new childcare policies on the childcare market. This is available at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/499168/Feasibility_study_into_evaluating_the_labour_and_childcare_market_impacts_of_Tax-Free_Childcare_and_the_Free_Early_Education_Entitlement.pdf<\/p>

<\/p>

The study concluded that it would be difficult to attribute changes in the childcare market definitively to a single childcare policy given the concurrent introduction of other childcare changes, and other external factors that could impact upon the market. However, HMRC and the Department for Education will be monitoring trends in the childcare market, and conducting research to understand parents and childcare providers\u2019 views on the impacts.<\/p>

For the current financial year 2017/18 we forecast there to be 130 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff in HMRC and 160 FTE within National Savings & Investments. We estimate that in financial year 2018/19 there will be 250 FTE staff employed in HMRC and 220 FTE within National Savings & Investments. These forecasts are reviewed regularly and are subject to change.<\/p>

<\/p>

Regarding how many families will benefit from Tax-Free Childcare, I refer the Hon. Member to the response I gave to the Hon. Member for Newcastle upon Tyne North on 29 January (124793).<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government has not made an estimate on the number of divorced or separated parents who will have to decide which of them will have the Tax-Free Childcare account.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC have a process for dealing with different claims from such parents. The first parent that applies for a childcare account and is eligible, is given an account. If another person later applies for the same child both parents are contacted and asked whether they\u2019re content to stand aside for the other applicant (so that the case can be resolved amicably). If they chose not to do this, both parents are asked to provide evidence in support of their claim. HMRC resolve cases based on the facts of each case. The losing parent can appeal, in which case both parents are party to the appeal.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4097", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Elizabeth Truss"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Norfolk"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Elizabeth Truss"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-02-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "125646"} , {"_value" : "125648"} , {"_value" : "125649"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-02-02T10:55:55.34Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-01-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Children: Day Care"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will estimate how many families will benefit from the tax-free childcare scheme.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4518", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tulip Siddiq"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hampstead and Kilburn"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tulip Siddiq"} ], "uin" : "125645"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/828957", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/828957/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
