The Government has undertaken a full economic impact assessment on its charging reform proposals. This will be published in due course. That assessment considers the impact of the reforms on people with different levels of wealth. However, as this varies between and within regions, the impact assessment will not, therefore, consider the impact on people living in specific local authority areas.
