answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p>The Government considers reports and publications from external organisations on an ongoing basis as part of the policy making process. The UK has one of the most redistributive tax and welfare systems in Europe, supported by a labour market that is continuing to perform strongly. UK income inequality is lower than in 2010 and the gender pay gap is at its lowest since records began.

The Chancellor will set out further detail on the composition of spending and welfare changes at the forthcoming Budget and Spending Review.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord O'Neill of Gatley question first answered 15/06/2015 12:10:23 answering member 4536 label Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley
