answer text <p>The level of seizures required putting a successful drug trafficker of (a) heroin, (b) cocaine, (c) cannabis and (d) ecstasy out of business is impossible to estimate. <br> <br>There are a number of variables which can affect the impact of disruptive activity. <br> <br>Such variables include the type of commodity seized, for example drugs or cash/assets, the size and influence of a particular drug trafficking business and the roles of those arrested and convicted as a result of any seizure. <br> <br>The Home Office recognises that disruption is not the only method for targeting SOC activity. The SOC strategy which was published in November 2018 outlines a set of capabilities which are designed to respond to the full range of serious and organised crime threats, including those posed by drug traffickers. <br> <br>It highlights our four overarching objectives to achieve our aim:<br> <br>1. Relentlessly disrupt and target action against highest harm and serious and organised criminal networks<br>2. Build the highest levels of defence and resilience in vulnerable people, communities, business and systems<br>3. Stop the problem at source, identifying and supporting those at risk of engaging in criminality<br>4. Establish a single whole-system approach, expanding our global reach and pooling skills and expertise with the private sector<br> <br>In taking this approach, we aim to protect our citizens and our prosperity by leaving no safe space for serious and organised criminals to operate against us.</p>

answer text <p>The Government is committed to continuing to make workplace pension saving the norm for young people. As part of the 2017 Review of Automatic Enrolment, we set out our ambition to reduce the minimum age threshold from age 22 to 18 – enabling more people to begin to save.</p><p> </p><p>Reducing the eligibility criteria for employers to enrol workers to age 18 helps to reinforce the norm that the majority of young people will start to pay into a pension from their first pay cheque. It will also simplify the workforce assessment for employers: all eligible workers would benefit from automatic enrolment from age 18 whoever employs them.</p><p>The Government recognises that employers, payroll and other delivery partners need time to plan for these changes. Employers need time to adjust to costs over the coming years before the Review proposals are implemented. We also want to understand properly the impact of the April 2019 contribution increase before committing to a timetable for the proposed changes.</p>
