Pensions
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Friday 1st November 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of reinstating trivial commutation following the changes to the Lifetime Allowance this year. Answered by Tulip Siddiq - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) For defined benefit (DB) pensions, trivial commutation continues to exist. If an individual’s total pension wealth across all DB pension schemes (excluding their state pension) is no more than £30,000, they may be able to surrender their pension for a taxable one-off payment (though usually up to 25% is available tax-free as with other kinds of pension withdrawal). Alternatively, if an individual’s pension within a scheme is valued at no more than £10,000, it may be possible to surrender this for a taxable one-off payment without any assessment against their total pension wealth. For defined contribution pensions, trivial commutation was removed because Pension Freedoms reforms meant that trivial commutation was no longer needed. |

Pensions: Lump Sum Payments
Asked by: David Chadwick (Liberal Democrat - Brecon, Radnor and Cwm Tawe) Tuesday 5th November 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will bring forward legislative proposals to extend eligibility for trivial commutation. Answered by Tulip Siddiq - Economic Secretary (HM Treasury) My response to Parliamentary Question 11127 provides more details on the rules around trivial commutation.
The purpose of these rules is to provide individuals with flexibility, while also helping to reduce the administrative burden on pension schemes of paying small pensions. In the case of trivial commutation, the £30,000 limit applies to the aggregate value of an individual’s pensions, rather than to each pension pot. This is to prevent the commutation of much larger – non-trivial - pensions by splitting them into multiple smaller pots just before retirement.
The Government has no current plans to extend this limit. |

Promoting Wales for inward investment Welsh Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 13 Jan 2025) Inward investment, a term often used interchangeably with Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), refers to cross-border investment from one country to another and which aims to establish a lasting interest and effective voice in an enterprise. In FDI statistics, an effective voice means owning 10% or more of the equity share capital in an enterprise. The UK ranks among the most successful countries in Europe for attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) projects and the UK Government has signalled its intention to strengthen the UK’s offer for businesses and investors. However, Wales has struggled to attract the same level of inward investment as other nations and regions in the UK - in 2023 to 2024, it attracted roughly 3.5% of the UK's total FDI projects, less than Scotland (8.35%) and the North East of England (4.48%). This inquiry will look at how ‘Brand Wales’ is promoted internationally to market Wales as a competitive destination for inward investment, and what lessons can be learnt from success stories in the creative industries and sports sectors.
