answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2023 answer text <p>The Network North paper published by the Department for Transport on 4 October 2023 sets out that we will appoint a development company, separate from HS2 Ltd, to manage the delivery of this project. We will also take on the lessons of success stories such as Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms, which secured £9 billion of private sector investment and thousands of homes. So we will harness the future growth that the station will unleash to support its development, to ensure we get the best possible value for the British taxpayer - and ensure that funding is underpinned by contributions from those people and businesses its development supports.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 26/10/2023 09:41:26 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2023 answer text <p>The principle of having a State Pension age that is the same for everybody is fundamental in the UK. Unlike a personal or workplace pension, which can potentially be drawn earlier, it has always been the case that nobody can claim their State Pension early, before they reach their State Pension age. We have no current plans to change this principle.</p><p> </p><p>For those at the end of their life, the Government’s priority is providing financial support quickly and compassionately. The main way that the Department does this is through special benefit rules, sometimes referred to as “the Special Rules”. These enable people who are nearing the end of their lives to get faster, easier access to certain benefits, without needing to attend a medical assessment, serve waiting periods and in most cases, receive the highest rate of benefit. For many years, the Special Rules have applied to people who have 6 months or less to live and now they have been changed so they apply to people who have 12 months or less to live.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 26/10/2023 09:15:56 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott
