Written question asked by Gareth Thomas (Labour) on Friday, 19 July 2019, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 23 July 2019. It was answered by Edward Argar (Conservative) on Monday, 29 July 2019 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Ministry of Justice: Credit Unions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 9 July 2019 to Question 271348, for what reasons his Department does not offer a payroll deduction service to enable employees to join a credit union; and if he will make a statement.

Answer

The Ministry of Justice does not have the facility to allow staff to join a credit union through payroll deductions. Staff can still make arrangements to contribute to a credit union via direct debit.

Although the Ministry does not currently offer such facility, we continue to explore options to support staff with financial wellbeing.
