The Government carefully considered the case for reform prior to announcing this change last year, and it is the Government\u2019s view that taxpayers can reasonably expect that when they have successfully paid their taxes, these go to fund public services as intended.<\/p>
<\/p>
This measure represents a proportionate approach that balances the interests of taxpayers, the Exchequer, and other creditors.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government expects the impact on the sustainability of Pension Protection Fund (PPF) to be marginal. This reform will not lead to a significant change in recoveries to the PPF compared to current returns.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government does not expect this reform to affect significantly SMEs\u2019 access to finance or corporate insolvencies, and in line with the Government\u2019s commitment to open and consultative policymaking is engaging with a wide variety of stakeholders to ensure policy changes are well informed and based upon the best available evidence.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3991", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jesse Norman"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hereford and South Herefordshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jesse Norman"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-10-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "292832"} , {"_value" : "292834"} , {"_value" : "292835"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-10-08T07:42:11.403Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-10-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Insolvency"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect of establishing HMRC as a secondary preferential creditor in insolvencies on the sustainability of the Pension Protection Fund.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/320", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Adrian Bailey"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "West Bromwich West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Adrian Bailey"} ], "uin" : "292833"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1147568", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1147568/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "The off-payroll working rules have been in place since 2000.

HMT has been assessing the risk that a small minority of insurance payments from UK insurers into the EU may be delayed. While HMT is responsible for setting the policy direction, it is the role of the independent regulator \u2013 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) \u2013 to engage with industry and test firm planning.<\/p>
<\/p>
The FCA has made it clear to insurers and insurance intermediaries that they should have appropriate plans in place to manage a no-deal exit, this should include plans to communicate with consumers should there be a change in the way their policy is serviced. The FCA expects firms to continue to service all their customers as fully and fairly as the law permits, including what regulatory protections will apply for their customers. The FCA has delivered these messages through a combination of direct contact with firms, senior leadership speeches, dedicated Brexit pages on its website, and trade association events.<\/p>
