Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the £95,000 cap on public sector exit payments is planned to come into force; what the timeframe is for the publication of the Government response to the consultation on the draft regulations that closed on 3 July 2019; and if he will make a statement.

The government is currently considering responses to the consultation and will publish its response in due course. Once the government response has been published, regulations are required to be laid before Parliament for approval through the affirmative procedure to bring the cap into force.
