HC Deb 23 March 2001 vol 365 c381W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what information on purchasers of stakeholder pensions the Inland Revenue will ask providers of such pensions to provide; and if this information will allow the Inland Revenue to determine whether the target market for such pensions is being reached. [154773]

Miss Melanie Johnson

Information requirements for stakeholder and personal pensions are laid out at Part 17B of the Inland Revenue Personal Pension Schemes (including Stakeholder Pension schemes) Guidance Notes—IR76 (2000). I have arranged for a copy to be laid in the House of Commons Library.

These requirements, supplemented by surveys and with other information held by the Inland Revenue, will enable take up of stakeholder pensions to be monitored.
