Written question asked by Mark Hendrick (Labour) on Friday, 6 November 2015, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 16 November 2015 (named day). It was answered by Justin Tomlinson (Conservative) on Monday, 16 November 2015 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.


Department for Work and Pensions: Preston

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what facilities are available to enable staff based at the Carer's Allowance Unit in Preston to pay money from their wages into the Guild Money credit union.

Answer

The department has a confirmed list of approved organisations for which Consolidated Voluntary Deductions (CVD’s) may be made. However, this does not include the Guild Money Credit Union. Carer’s Allowance staff entering into arrangements with the Guild Money Credit Union should therefore arrange their payments through other methods such as direct debit through their bank or building society.
