The Office for National Statistics (ONS) produce estimates of the level of household debt in the UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
The latest available regional data, covering the period 2012 to 2014, shows median household financial debt in the West Midlands is the lowest of any English region. In the UK as a whole, household debt-to-income was 140% in Q2 2018. This remains significantly below the pre-crisis peak of 160% in Q1 2008. Debt interest payments as a share of income remain low by historical standards and below pre-crisis levels. Household net financial wealth as a proportion of income remains close to record highs and above pre-crisis levels.<\/p>

The Treasury gave consent to UK Export Finance (UKEF) to provide financing support for the export of Typhoon aircraft, associated equipment and services to the Government of Qatar on national interest grounds. The Treasury works closely with UKEF to assess the risks to the Exchequer arising from such support. To ensure effective assessments can be made, detailed commercially sensitive information is required. Were these assessments to be published, it would inhibit UKEF's ability to obtain the information required to consider transactions and would ultimately limit their ability to support UK exporters.<\/p>

The small pots and trivial commutation rules are permissive sets of tax rules which pre-date the pension freedoms reforms introduced in 2015. The rules may allow an individual to access their pension as a lump sum if they are at least 55 years old, or retiring at an earlier age because of ill-health, and the value of the payment does not exceed £10,000 for small pots, or £30,000 for trivial commutation. The rules limit what arrangements can be accessed in this way.<\/p>
