Government will continually assess that balance when considering public pay policy. The Government has introduced the National Living Wage and committed to raising the personal allowance further, to £12,500, by the end of this Parliament. By 2017-18, 1.3 million people on the lowest incomes will have been taken out of income tax altogether, and a typical taxpayer will pay over £1,000 less income tax, compared to 2010-11.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/07/2017 13:20:08 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss

In 2015 Sir Peter Hendy was asked to replan the programme to put it on a more sustainable footing, and following Sir Peter's review we have revised our approach to enhancements and the way we govern the programme to ensure that it is delivered within the fixed funding available.
