answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2015 answer text <p>Low interest rates have played an important part in stimulating the recovery over the past few years. But there are those – especially pensioners – who rely on a reasonable rate of interest on their savings as a key source of income in their retirement. Therefore these bonds are designed to support them by providing a good return. 65 years was chosen as the requisite age for the Bonds because at this age in 2015 both men and women will be in receipt of a state pension.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 02/02/2015 15:57:44 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

The five guiding principles of the House of Bishops’ declaration which underpinned General Synod’s agreement to women bishops clearly provided a framework to make it possible for arrangements to develop for the Church of England to maintain the highest possible degree of communion and contribute to mutual flourishing across all the diverse traditions that exist. Paragraph 30 of the House of Bishops’ declaration gave a very clear commitment to continuing the supply of traditionalist Catholic Bishops and Headship Evangelical Bishops.</strong></p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Sir Tony Baldry question first answered 02/02/2015 14:38:00 answering member 93 label Biography information for Sir Tony Baldry
