Question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether the Government has made an assessment of the impact of the Autumn Statement 2022 on equality for (a) women, (b) Black, Asian and minority ethnic people, (c) LGBT+ people and (d) disabled people.
In developing proposals for fiscal events, such as the Autumn Statement on 17 November, the Treasury follows a rigorous process to ensure we carefully consider the equality impact on those sharing protected characteristics, in line with both its legal obligations and its strong commitment to promoting fairness. In interests of transparency HMRC will publish a summary of equality impacts for tax measures within the Tax Information and Impact Notes (TIINs) alongside the associated legislation.
