answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Department for Work and Pensions administers the national insurance pension scheme (State Retirement Pension) and fully recovers its administrative costs from the National Insurance Fund operated by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The net cost to the Department of administering the national insurance pension scheme is therefore zero.</p><p>At the start of each financial year, costs are calculated on the basis of latest workload forecasts and the most recent audited unit costs. The amount to be recovered is then agreed with HMRC.</p><p>Costs recovered from the National Insurance Fund in relation to administration costs for the national insurance pension scheme were as follows:</p><p> </p><p>Year Amount</p><p>£ millions</p><p>2007-08 504.5</p><p>2008-09 391.9</p><p>2009-10 390.3</p><p>2010-11 348.6</p><p>2011-12 221.6</p><p>2012-13 252.6</p><p>2013-14 246.9</p><p>2014-15 209.9</p><p> </p><p>Prior to 2007 the charge was not calculated on a benefit by benefit basis and therefore we do not hold any details of costs recovered from the National Insurance Fund relating specifically to the national insurance pension scheme.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 10/06/2014 15:37:05 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
