Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will publish an analysis of the effect of welfare reforms since 2010 (a) on welfare recipients, (b) on people with disabilities, (c) by geographical area and (d) on single parents, families, and people of working age compared to pensioners.

The Government publishes distributional analysis at each fiscal event which shows how households across the income distribution are affected by this Government’s tax, welfare, and public service spending changes.

The most recent assessment was at Autumn Statement 2014, which showed that the richest 20% of households continue to make the greatest contribution to reducing the deficit, both in cash terms and as a percentage of their income.

This analysis is not available in breakdowns by categories other than the equivalised income and expenditure distributions.
