Where artificial intelligence tools are used, or plan to be used, in policing they must comply with existing legal standards and principles.

It is not possible to produce a robust estimate of the impact of the benefit cap policy on levels of child poverty.<\/p>

<\/p>

The benefit cap provides a strong work incentive, which reflects our long-term focus of continuing to support parents into, and to progress in, work. Our multi-billion-pound Plan for Jobs, which has recently been expanded by £500 million, will help people across the UK to find work and to boost their wages and prospects.<\/p>

The change announced in the Budget will enable working parents and people with disabilities on Universal Credit to keep £630 extra income each year or around £12 per week.<\/p>

<\/p>

HM Treasury\u2019s distributional analysis, published alongside Budget 2018, shows the cumulative effect on household incomes of policies on welfare, tax, and public service spending measures. Because different measures often interact with each other, this cumulative assessment provides the best representation of the overall intended policy effect. This shows that the Government\u2019s decisions have benefited households throughout the income distribution, with the poorest households gaining the most as a percentage of net income.<\/p>

<\/p>

DWP has not conducted research into the impact of Universal Credit on household poverty. Estimates of the number and proportion of individuals in relative low income are published in the National Statistics Households Below Average Income (HBAI) series, available on gov.uk.<\/p>

<\/p>

The latest annual publication was on 2017/18 data and we will continue to monitor relative low income rates in future publications. We are committed to building a country that works for everyone \u2013 not just the privileged few. We know that work is the best route out of poverty and Universal Credit is designed to strengthen incentives for parents to move into and progress in work.
