answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2017 answer text <p>Improving social mobility is at the heart of the government’s ambition to make Britain a country that works for everyone.

The Autumn Budget committed to tackling poverty, improving skills, and ensuring that every generation can look forward to a better standard of living than the one before.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2010 there are 600,000 fewer people, including 200,000 fewer children, in absolute poverty (before housing costs), and employment has risen to near record levels in the UK, accounting for the bulk of GDP growth over the last seven years. The Autumn Budget announced further action to raise living standards by increasing the National Living Wage and to make progress on delivering the manifesto commitment to raise the personal allowance to £12,500. Furthermore, the Budget announced £406m of investment in skills, with a focus of mathematics and digital skills, thereby helping people obtain the abilities they need to secure better paid and highly skilled jobs.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 22/12/2017 12:49:44 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
