16th Jan 2017
Occupational Pensions
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is (1) the percentage, and (2) the number, of workers earning more than £5,824 and less than the earnings trigger of £10,000, who are over the age of 22 and below the state pension age and who have opted into pension auto-enrolment, by (a) gender and (b) earnings band, according to the most recent available statistics.

The opt out rate for those automatically enrolled into workplace pensions is significantly lower than anticipated by government. The Employers’ Pension Provision (EPP) Survey 2015 estimated this to be less than 10 per cent.

The government does not collect information about opt in rates for individual workers. Some workforce data is available via the EPP Survey 2015 but it is not possible to break down the data in the way sought by the question.

National Insurance Contributions
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many additional part-time workers, by gender, currently earning between £3,000 a year and the current lower earnings limit they estimate would, by virtue of their earnings, fall within the National Insurance system should the lower earnings limit be reduced to £3,000 and at what gross cost to the Exchequer; how many of those additional part-time workers, by gender, earning between £3,000 a year and the lower earnings limit would currently be credited into the National Insurance system; and what, taking into account existing crediting arrangements, would be the net cost of reducing the lower earnings limit to £3,000.

The information is not available.
