The information requested is not available. The Childcare and Early Years Survey of Parents estimates that grandparents provided informal childcare for 1.8m children in 1.4m families in 2012/13 with 4% of these families making some form of payment to the grandparent. We are unable to identify the ages of these grandparents; previous studies have shown that around half of grandparents are aged over 65. <\/p>

Estimates were made of both the future AME expenditure and the revenue from contributions in 2015-16 and 2016-17 which would determine future state pension expenditure levels. Estimates made by the Department were certified by the Office for Budget Responsibility. Figures for the medium term impacts in cash terms were published on page 46 in Budget 2014: policy costings available at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/295067/PU1638_policy_costings_bud_2014_with_correction_slip.pdf<\/a> .<\/p>

<\/p>

Further information on the long-term Exchequer impact in 2013-14 price terms is included in the table below. As noted in the policy costings document, there is uncertainty about levels of take-up of this policy. If take-up was higher than assumed both AME and Revenue would increase and if take-up was lower than assumed then both would decrease.<\/p>

The Budget announced that from April 2015, the tax rules for how people access their defined contribution pension savings will be simplified to allow individuals aged 55 or over to withdraw their savings however they wish, subject to their marginal rate of income tax.<\/p>

<\/p>

Estimates were made of both the future AME expenditure and the revenue from contributions in 2015-16 and 2016-17 which would determine future state pension expenditure levels. Estimates made by the Department were certified by the Office for Budget Responsibility. Figures for the medium term impacts in cash terms were published on page 46 in Budget 2014: policy costings available at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/295067/PU1638_policy_costings_bud_2014_with_correction_slip.pdf<\/a> .<\/p>

<\/p>

Further information on the long-term Exchequer impact in 2013-14 price terms is included in the table below. As noted in the policy costings document, there is uncertainty about levels of take-up of this policy. If take-up was higher than assumed both AME and Revenue would increase and if take-up was lower than assumed then both would decrease.<\/p>

The government believes people should be trusted to make their own choices about how to use their savings to fund their retirement. These measures fundamentally change the way that people can access their retirement savings, and therefore people are free to vary the mix of income and capital they hold in retirement.<\/p>

<\/p>

Alongside these changes, the government is taking measures to ensure everyone approaching retirement is aware of the choices they have. Pension providers and schemes will be required, by April 2015, to offer all individuals retiring with a defined contribution pension pot free and impartial face-to-face guidance on their retirement choices.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/220"} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "creator" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3949", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gregg McClymont"} } , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-03-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "dateTabled" : {"_value" : "2014-03-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpCreated" : {"_value" : "2014-03-26T21:33:14.677Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpModified" : {"_value" : "2015-02-07T03:07:19.640Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "humanIndexable" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "identifier" : {"_value" : "193939"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "parliamentNumber" : "55", "published" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "publisher" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-04-02T12:00:00.00Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the effect of the planned changes to pensions on retirement incomes from private and workplace pensions.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "session" : ["2013/14"], "sessionNumber" : {"_value" : "3"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3949", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gregg McClymont"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gregg McClymont"} ], "title" : "House of Commons Tabled Parliamentary Question 2013/14 193939", "type" : "http://data.parliament.uk/schema/parl#WrittenParliamentaryQuestion", "uin" : "193939", "version" : "1", "writtenParliamentaryQuestionType" : "Ordinary"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/46192", "AnswerDate" : {"_value" : "2014-04-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "QuestionStatus" : {"_value" : "Tabled"} , "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/46192/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We already have powers in place to legislate to ban cash incentive transfers. The incentive exercises code of good practice was created in 2012, and set out seven key principles that pension providers and their advisers must adhere to if they wish to offer their members incentives, including ensuring that members are given sufficient information to enable them to make an informed decision.<\/p>

<\/p>

A large number of providers and independent financial advisers have signed up to the code, delivering a prompt solution to address this issue. The Government would encourage all providers to comply with the code.<\/p>

Following the Budget announcement HM Treasury are currently running a consultation, \u201cFreedom of Choice in Pensions\u201d where it is considering whether people with a defined benefit pension should be allowed to transfer their accrued benefits into a defined contribution scheme.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people made the maximum allowed contribution to an ISA in each of the last three years; and how many he estimates will do so in each of the next three years as a result of changes announced in the 2014 Budget. 195422<\/p>

<\/p>

DAVID GAUKE<\/p>

In 2010-11, around 1.2 million individuals made full use of their (£10,200) ISA allowance. Figures for more recent years are not yet available.<\/p>

<\/p>

As announced at Budget 2014, from 1 July 2014 the overall annual New ISA subscription limit will be increased to £15,000 and can be used for either cash or stocks and shares investments, or any combination of the two, up to this limit. Over 6 million people are expected to benefit from these increases, including over 5 million adults currently making full use of the cash ISA limit.<\/p>

<\/p>

Estimates of the numbers of individuals expected to save at the new limit in each of the next three years are not available.<\/p>

No such estimate has been made.<\/p>

<\/p>

The single-tier pension will be set above the level of the Standard Minimum Guarantee for a single person. This means that for people reaching State Pension age from April 2016 onwards, anyone who has built up 35 qualifying years through National Insurance contributions and credits should have an income above the level of the basic means test, regardless of how much they earned during their working life.<\/p>

<\/p>

Some pensioners will still require means-tested support, and at a given level of retirement income an individual's eligibility will depend on a number of factors. These include the level and nature of their housing costs, whether they are single or in a couple, whether they have additional needs associated with caring or severe disability and whether they reached State Pension age before or after the introduction of the single-tier pension.<\/p>

<\/p>

Whether or not a particular salary level in working life would lead to an income in retirement that is high enough to avoid eligibility for any means-tested benefits will also depend on the choices an individual makes, including how much of their income to save for retirement.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/220"} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "creator" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3949", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gregg McClymont"} } , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-04-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "dateTabled" : {"_value" : "2014-04-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpCreated" : {"_value" : "2014-04-07T22:02:49.463Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpModified" : {"_value" : "2015-02-07T03:35:51.693Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "humanIndexable" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "identifier" : {"_value" : "195426"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "parliamentNumber" : "55", "published" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "publisher" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-04-10T12:00:00.00Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the minimum income per annum required during an individual's working life to prevent the need to claim means-tested benefits in retirement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "session" : ["2013/14"], "sessionNumber" : {"_value" : "3"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3949", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Gregg McClymont"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cumbernauld, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Gregg McClymont"} ], "title" : "House of Commons Tabled Parliamentary Question 2013/14 195426", "type" : "http://data.parliament.uk/schema/parl#WrittenParliamentaryQuestion", "uin" : "195426", "version" : "1", "writtenParliamentaryQuestionType" : "NamedDay"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/47367", "AnswerDate" : {"_value" : "2014-04-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "HM Treasury"} ], "QuestionStatus" : {"_value" : "Tabled"} , "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/47367/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what comparative analysis he has carried out of the effects of the changes to pensions set out in the 2014 Budget on men and women. [195427]<\/p>

<\/p>

DAVID GAUKE<\/p>

At Budget 2014 the Chancellor announced changes which increase the flexibility of pensions, some of which took effect on 27th<\/sup> March 2014.<\/p>

<\/p>

The increases to the small pot and trivial commutation limits are believed to benefit women proportionately more than men, as they are more likely to have smaller pension wealth. Reducing the minimum income requirement for flexible drawdown is also expected to have a disproportionate impact on women, as they are less likely to have a large pension pot than men.<\/p>

HMRC's Tax Information and Impact Note presents further information on the estimated impacts of the 2014 changes:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/293844/TIIN_8070_8062_8202_8132_8133_increasing_pension_flexibility.pdf<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The proposed 2015 changes will enable individuals to access their defined contribution pension savings as they wish at the point of retirement, subject to their marginal rate of income tax (rather than the current 55% charge for full withdrawal). The changes the Government proposes will entitle everyone to full flexibility regardless of their gender.<\/p>

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) has no plans to privatise its Debt Management and Banking (DMB) Operations.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC has been using debt collection services provided by private sector suppliers for several years. This has given HMRC additional capacity to complement its in house operations and increase the flexibility of its business operations, with Debt Collection Agencies (DCAs) working alongside in house debt collection activity.<\/p>

<\/p>

HMRC plans to continue to use private sector services - the overall aim being to strengthen further HMRC's debt collection service, making optimal use of both internal and external collection specialists.<\/p>

<\/p>

In the future, HMRC will purchase those externally provided services through the Debt Market Integrator (DMI), a Cabinet Office led initiative to create a \u201cone stop shop\u201d for all government departments to access a range of private sector debt collection services.<\/p>
