Female employment is at a record high; the female unemployment rate is the lowest since comparable records began; and the female employment rate increased by more in the last parliament than in the previous three combined.<\/p>
<\/p>
The level of the minimum income requirement of £18,600, introduced in 2012, is designed to ensure that those bringing their family into the UK from non-EEA countries can properly support their partner and any dependants financially, and was set based on advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) in November 2011.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Treasury has not conducted an assessment of the fiscal impact of any potential change in female labour force participation as a result of the minimum income requirement.<\/p>"}

At Budget 2018, the Government concluded that a levy on all cups would not at this point deliver a decisive shift from disposable cups to reusable cups across all beverage types. This conclusion is based on the submissions made to the government during the call for evidence on single use plastic waste and examining alternatives to current single-use cups containing plastic.
<\/p>
The Government expects industry to go further in taking action on disposable plastic cups and will return to the issue if sufficient progress is not made. The Government is also considering the case for reducing the environment impact of disposable cups within a reformed Packaging Producer Responsibility system and a potential Deposit Return Scheme.<\/p>"}

The UK Government currently does not plan to pay the Settled Status for its non-UK EU citizen employees. The fee is set at an affordable rate (£65), less than the cost of an UK passport.<\/p>
Outsourced workers are not employees of HM Treasury and therefore this would be a decision for their employers.<\/p>
The number of non-UK EU citizens employed across the Civil Service is not consistently collected across Government. It is therefore not possible to estimate the cost of paying the settled status fee for non-UK EU nationals employed directly by the Treasury.<\/p>
We value the significant contribution made by EU citizens working in the Treasury and we want these colleagues to continue to play a full role in the work of the Civil Service. We are committed to supporting our EU citizen employees in the Treasury, and will continue to engage with them over the coming months.<\/p>
