Income inequality has also fallen since 2010. HM Treasury publishes regular analysis of the distributional impact of government tax and spending policy on household incomes.

The analysis also shows that Government policy is highly redistributive: in 2019-20, the lowest income households will receive over £4 in public spending for every £1 they pay in tax, while households in the highest income decile contribute over £5 in tax for every £1 they receive in public spending.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 01/02/2018 11:38:20 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
