Annual estimates by country of median and mean disposable equivalised household income by age group (i.e. for children, working age adults and pensioners) on a three-year average basis are available from the latest Households Below Average Income publication.<\/p>

<\/p>

These different age groups can be found in tables 2.6ts (for children); 2.7ts (for working age adults); 2.8ts (for pensioners). These can be accessed via the \u2018Supporting data tables\u2019 link in here:<\/p>

Estimates of median disposable income of quintile income group by country are not available in the Households Below Average Income publication and therefore are presented in the tables below.<\/p>

There is no plan to review the use of powers that allow subordinate legislation to amend primary legislation. Parliamentary Counsel and Departments work to ensure that new delegated powers are proportionate. Each Government Bill is accompanied by a memorandum explaining the delegated powers included in the Bill and explaining why they are necessary.<\/p>

The Government launched its consultation on a General Anti-Abuse Rule (GAAR) on 12 June 2012. A significant number of responses were received from a wide range of respondents. HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) published a summary of responses on 11 December 2012 noting that the majority of respondents were broadly in favour of an anti-abuse rule, though there were concerns that the draft legislation had the potential to apply more widely than the stated target.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The role and composition of the GAAR Advisory Panel was an important element of the consultation. The response document notes that, \u201cmost respondents welcomed the introduction of the Advisory Panel as a taxpayer safeguard. There was support for the view that it should be a non-judicial body that would consider a case before it progresses to a court or tribunal.\u201d<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition to the thorough consultation and following the publication of the provisions on GAAR in December 2012, the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee considered the Government\u2019s proposals for an anti-abuse rule, as part of their enquiry into selected provisions of the draft Finance Bill. The Committee considered representations from a range of sources. The majority of those who made comments or gave evidence were also broadly in support of the new rule. The Committee\u2019s report is available here: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201213/ldselect/ldeconaf/139/13906.htm<\/a><\/p>

On 17 December 2014 the Chancellor authorised the sale of a third part of the government\u2019s shareholding in Lloyds Banking Group via a trading plan. The plan is ongoing and will end no later than 30 June 2015. Morgan Stanley act as broker on behalf of HM Treasury to execute the trading plan.<\/p>

<\/p>

Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) rules require HMG as seller to inform the market each time its shareholding has crossed through a one percentage point threshold, which is typically released via RNS by the company. Lloyds have therefore released two such statements since the launch of the trading plan, on 23 February and 9 March 2015. These contain details of the government\u2019s remaining shareholding in Lloyds. On both occasions, the government released a statement confirming these announcements.<\/p>

<\/p>

On 9 March 2015 the government confirmed that the total amount of money raised through the trading plan was over £1bn and that the government\u2019s shareholding in Lloyds had fallen below 23%.<\/p>

<\/p>

As I informed the House in my written statement on 18 December, a statement will be laid before Parliament with further details at the end of the plan. In order to get the best deal for the taxpayer, I will not provide a running commentary on the price of shares and the precise number sold while the trading plan is ongoing. However, the Chancellor has made clear that no shares will be sold below the average price the previous government paid for them (i.e. 73.6p).<\/p>
