Over the coming weeks and months, the Government will be working with our key electoral partners (including the Electoral Commission and the Association of Electoral Administrators) to set out the timing and methodology of the pilot schemes. My letter of 20 February to my Right Honourable friend, the Member for Loughborough, outlined that the purpose of the pilot schemes is to test the impact of voter identification measures on the electoral process as a whole, including on factors such as turnout.<\/p>"}

In 2015 the Government established the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) to ensure that payment systems work well for those that use them.<\/p>
<\/p>
Following Which?\u2019s super-complaint about Authorised Push Payment (APP) Scams last year, the PSR has developed a programme of work to better protect consumers and increase awareness of payment scams. The banking industry will lead on the following work:<\/p>
<\/p>
\u2022 Developing, collecting and publishing scam statistics to address the lack of clear data on the scale and scope of the problems, and to enable monitoring over time.<\/p>
\u2022 Developing a common approach or best practice standards that banks should follow when responding to reported APP scams.<\/p>
\u2022 Developing a common understanding of what information can be shared under the current law and any key legal barriers to sharing further information, liaising with the Information Commissioner\u2019s Office as appropriate.<\/p>
<\/p>
The PSR will monitor this work and review industry progress in the second half of 2017.<\/p>
<\/p>
The PSR is also undertaking work to consider the potential for operators of the Faster Payments and CHAPS payment systems to play an expanded role in helping to minimise the consumer harm caused by APP scams.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition to this, the PSR has recognised the benefits that enhanced assurance data could bring in this space, and is currently undertaking work on a possible \u2018Confirmation of Payee\u2019 solution, whereby entering the account details would bring up the name of the account holder.<\/p>"}

At Summer Budget 2015, the Government announced the introduction of a new \u2018residence nil rate band\u2019 for inheritance tax when a home is passed on death to a direct descendent. It will start at £100,000 in 2017-18, increasing in £25,000 increments to £175,000 in 2020-21. This, in addition to the existing nil rate band of £325,000, will increase the inheritance tax free threshold to £500,000 for many individuals, and up to £1 million for many married couples and civil partners by 2020-21.<\/p>
<\/p>
The latest estimates of the cost to the Exchequer of introducing the residence nil rate band from 2017-18 to 2020-21 are published in Table 2.2 of the Budget 2016 official publication at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/508193/HMT_Budget_2016_Web_Accessible.pdf<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p>
