question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to his Answer of 12 December 2017 to Question 118240, what the exact references are from reports by the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Institute for Fiscal Studies and other bodies which provide evidence of a relationship between increased participation in the workforce by disabled people and average productivity or overall productivity measurements.
tabling member constituency	Brighton, Pavilion
tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	120030
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text At the Treasury Committee, the Chancellor made a broader point about economy-wide labour productivity. Both the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Office for Budget Responsibility have suggested that increasing overall employment may have influenced measures of productivity. The Chancellor was not suggesting – and does not believe – that increased participation by people with disabilities has had any negative impact on the economy. There is no evidence of a relationship between aggregate productivity measures and an increase in workforce participation of people with disabilities. It has however helped to increase economic growth and it is something we can be very proud of as a country.<p> </p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 21/12/2017 13:22:30 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones
