§ Mr. LoughtonTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what assessment he has made of the number of new ISA accounts opened by savers who did not previously hold(a) PEPs or (b) TESSAs. [129027]
§ Miss Melanie Johnson[holding answer 4 July 2000]: Detailed information on each ISA opened has to be sent to the Inland Revenue by ISA managers after the end of each tax year. The information for 1999–2000 has not yet been received from all ISA managers. When all this has arrived, the Inland Revenue will be able to start the analysis which will determine how many ISA savers do not also have TESSAs and PEPs.
