answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2020 answer text <p>Since 2010, income inequality has fallen and there are 400,000 fewer people in absolute low income. HM Treasury’s distributional analysis shows the cumulative effect on household incomes of policies on welfare, tax, and public service spending measures. The latest analysis, published alongside Budget 2018, shows government policy continues to be highly redistributive. It shows that in 2019/20, the lowest income households will receive over £4 in public spending for every £1 they pay in tax on average.</p><p> </p><p>This Government is committed to unleashing Britain's potential by investing in public services and infrastructure, spreading opportunity and prosperity across every region and nation. This is why we have invested in a £3.6 billion Towns Fund, opened up a consultation on Freeports, and confirmed that we will proceed with HS2.</p><p>Further details, including updated distributional analysis, will be included in the Budget this week.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Steve Barclay question first answered 09/03/2020 17:18:06 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
