Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will ensure that all government departments produce an analysis of the effect of their policies on people who are low-paid.

At each Budget and Autumn Statement, the Government already produces cumulative distributional analysis; this shows the impact of government policies since 2010 on the share of tax paid and spending received, across the household income distribution.

Where appropriate, departments also choose to publish analyses of the potential effects on protected characteristics, and of the effect of government policy on families.
