Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of potential impact of the Spring Statement 2025 on levels of employment in Aldridge-Brownhills.
At Spring Statement 2025, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the government’s independent official forecaster, published its bi-annual economic and fiscal forecasts.
In line with its mandate as set out in law, the OBR does not produce forecasts at a sub-national level.
The OBR stated that it will make a full assessment of the economic impacts of the welfare policies announced in the Pathways to Work Green Paper ahead of its next forecast in the Autumn.
