Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies of the equality impact analysis published on 25 November 2016 by the Women's Budget Group and the Runnymeade Trust on the effect of the Autumn Statement 2016 on women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds; and what plans he has to respond to that publication.

The Government carefully considers the equality impacts of the individual measures of fiscal events on those sharing protected characteristics, including gender, race and disability. In line with the Government’s continued commitment to equality issues, these impact assessments will continue to inform the Government’s policy decisions.
