Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has undertaken an equality impact assessment of his Department's response to the covid-19 outbreak.

HM Treasury takes care to pay due regard to the equality impacts of its policy decisions relating to the Covid-19 outbreak, in line with all legal requirements and the Government’s commitment to promoting equality. There are internal procedural requirements and support in place for ensuring that such considerations inform decisions taken by Ministers.
