The Government does not collect data on the number of workers earning less than the personal allowance who are also members of pension schemes that operate a net pay system. The Government does not hold employee level data on employees enrolled in net pay pension schemes, as such schemes are not obliged to report pension contributions to HM Revenue and Customs. The Government does not, therefore, hold information on the value of tax reliefs paid out to employees in net pay schemes.<\/p>

The Government is committed to ensuring economic security for people at every stage of their life, including when they reach retirement. The Government is also clear that fairness between the generations must be maintained. We are committed to the Triple Lock for the remainder of this Parliament. Economic forecasts suggest that State Pensions will go up by at least 2.5% each year for the length of this Parliament and so maintaining the Triple Lock for this Parliament will cost no extra money.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is estimated that uprating the State Pension by a double lock (highest of earnings or inflation) from April 2020 would reduce State Pension expenditure by the following compared to the Triple Lock:<\/p>

(1) 0.03% of GDP in 2029/30;<\/p>

(2) 0.08% of GDP in 2039/40;<\/p>

(3) 0.13% of GDP in 2049/50;<\/p>

My Department considered the effect of case closure on children and their parents through a public consultation: \u201cSupporting separated families; securing children\u2019s futures\u201d in July 2012. Our response to the consultation was published in November 2013.<\/p>
