Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recommendations of the all-party parliamentary group on wellbeing economics' report entitled A spending review to increase wellbeing, published 24 May 2019; and if he will make a statement.

I have noted the All Party Parliamentary Group on Wellbeing Economics report and the Treasury regularly receive representations on all aspects of public spending. The forthcoming Spending Review will allow us to take a systematic view of all public spending and introduce reforms in line with the Government’s vision for the UK economy and public services.

This will include working closely with departments to identify priorities and inform decisions on how to direct resources to improve people’s opportunities over the long-term.
