<p /> <p /> <p>The Government regularly produces analysis of the cumulative impact
of all Coalition changes, including welfare, on households across the income distribution.
This information is produced by the Treasury and is published alongside every Budget
and Autumn Statement, in the interests of transparency. The previous government did
not provide this type of analysis. The most recent update was published with the Budget
on 19 March 2014, and can be found using the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/293738/budget_2014_distributional_analysis.pdf"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/293738/budget_2014_distributional_analysis.pdf</a></p><p>
</p><p>Distributional analysis is provided for the whole population on the basis of
household income and household expenditure. However this is not disaggregated to the
level of household characteristics such as disability status or lower level geographies.
No organisation is able to do this robustly.</p><p> </p><p>This analysis estimates
the effect of Coalition measures from all fiscal events from the Budget in June 2010
to the Budget in 2014. It also includes changes that were announced before the Budget
in June 2010 that have been implemented by this Government. Current Coalition policies
are compared with what might have happened if the previous Government's policies had
continued into the future without any further fiscal consolidation.</p><p> </p><p>The
Government currently has no plans to undertake a review or change the decision on
cumulative impact assesments.</p>
