UK banks\u2019 and building societies\u2019 treatment of their customers is governed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in its Principles of Business. This includes a general requirement for firms to provide a prompt, efficient and fair service to all of their customers, including those who have recently suffered a bereavement.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government is supportive of industry efforts to improve handling of these sensitive cases, including the implementation of the British Bankers\u2019 Association\u2019s Bereavement Principles. These Principles commit firms to support customers and, in particular, allow necessary payments to be made from the deceased\u2019s accounts. Such payments include inheritance tax, which can be paid directly to HM Revenue and Customs, before probate is granted, through the Direct Payment Scheme. Where lower amounts are held, the Principles also commit firms to consider whether they can waive probate requirements and release funds more quickly.<\/p>"}

The Government has shown it is committed to reducing geographical, wealth and generational inequality. It will continue to consider such issues when making public spending allocations.<\/p>
<\/p>
A key priority for this government is to make sure the economy works for the whole country, not just certain parts. In the latest year, the economy grew fastest in the North West, the number of people in work grew fastest in the South West and unemployment fell fastest in Scotland. Looking ahead, the Government is developing an industrial strategy to drive productivity, create jobs, and ensure sustainable economic growth across the country.<\/p>
<\/p>
Our increases to the National Minimum Wage rate will benefit younger people, as will our actions to help young people get on the housing ladder. Income inequality is now lower now than it was in 2010, and the share of total income tax paid by the top 1% is 27%.<\/p>"}

The latest data shows median household financial debt in the North West is the second lowest of any English region.<\/p>
<\/p>
In the UK as a whole, household debt-to-income has increased marginally from 141% 12 months ago to 145% in Q1 2017. This remains significantly below the pre-crisis peak of 160% in Q1 2008.<\/p>

The independent Financial Policy Committee (FPC) was set up by the government to assess and mitigate financial stability risks, including from household debt. The FPC has taken action to ensure against a significant rise in highly indebted households.<\/p>"}

The process required to sell part of the English student loan book under the Sale of Student Loans Act (2008) was launched in February this year. An update will be provided in due course.<\/p>
<\/p>
A sale on the basis set out in February would not represent a step towards privatisation of the provision or administration of student loans. The position of people with student loans would not be affected as a result of such a sale.<\/p>
The proposed sale comprised the rights to future repayments and would not involve alteration of the mechanisms or terms of repayment.<\/p>
<\/p>
This sale process was the first in a planned programme of sales of loans issued under the previous \u201cpre-2012\u201d system, targeting £12bn of proceeds by the end of the 2020-21 financial year.<\/p>"}

This research will help to inform the Government's response to the consultation on draft regulations for the implementation of the Second Payment Services Directive.
