	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>The distributional analysis published alongside Autumn Statement 2014, and at every fiscal event since the government came into office, represents the most complete, rigorous and detailed record of the impact of this government’s policies on households. Unlike other analyses, it looks not only at the effect of direct tax and welfare decisions, but also the impact of changes to indirect tax (such as the freeze to fuel duty) and changes to spending on public services.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>This analysis clearly shows that the richest households have made the largest contribution towards reducing the deficit. In fact, by 2015-16 the net cash contribution to reducing the deficit of the richest 20 per cent will be larger than the net contribution of the remaining 80 per cent put together.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 16/12/2014 16:54:42 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton
