The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether they will require their department and agencies to offer payroll deductions to all employees to enable them to join a credit union.

The Home Office introduced a new benefits platform in August 2025 which includes a wellbeing hub with financial education and support.

At the current time the Home Office is not intending to introduce a payroll deduction service for accessing credit unions.
