The UK supports the WHO's End TB strategy, including through our £340 million investment in the WHO (2020-2024). The UK contributed actively to the agreement of the political declaration at this year's High Level Meeting on Tuberculosis (TB) at the UN General Assembly, where the UK was represented by Lord Ahmad. We pledged £1 billion to the 7th replenishment of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria which will provide TB treatment and care to more than 1 million people. We also support work to bring down the prices of key TB products, tackle barriers to access, and test out innovative approaches to delivering TB diagnosis and treatment. Support includes funding to the TB Reach Initiative and the TB Alliance Product Development Partnership.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1211", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sutton Coldfield"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Andrew Mitchell"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-11-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-11-27T10:00:25.303Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-11-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Tuberculosis: Disease Control"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what steps he is taking to help (a) the WHO and (b) international counterparts end tuberculosis by 2030.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1604", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Virendra Sharma"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ealing, Southall"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Virendra Sharma"} ], "uin" : "2840"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1151015", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1151015/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

It is important to consider tax and public spending decisions alongside welfare decisions, to understand the cumulative impact on households of government policy.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Details of the impact on households as a result of changes to tax, welfare and public service spending can be found in the Treasury\u2019s distributional analysis publication that accompanied Budget 2015.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
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>
