Public Expenditure: Impact Assessments
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 15 October 2024 to Question 6995 on Public Expenditure: Impact Assessments, if she will publish the equality and environmental assessment that her Department conducted.
Answered by Darren Jones
As highlighted previously, officials conducted Equalities and Environmental impact assessments of the savings measures put forward by Departments within the July ‘Fixing the Foundations’ statement, and HM Treasury has processes in place to ensure that it complies with its legal requirements.
Impact assessments are a core part of the internal decision-making process, and they are not usually published.
