Equality: Impact Assessments

Asked by Mr Richard HoldenConservativeTreasuryTabled Answered 21 January 2025UIN 23472

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will publish all internal equality impact assessments produced for measures included in the Autumn Budget 2024 and lay copies of them in the House of Commons library.

Answered by James Murray

HM Treasury carefully considers the impact of its decisions on those sharing protected characteristics in line with both our legal obligations and our strong commitment to breaking down barriers to opportunity.

In the interests of transparency, HM Treasury and HMRC also publishes summaries of equality impacts for tax measures being legislated for in the Finance Bill in tax information and impact notes (TIINs).
