UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’ concluding observations on the seventh periodic report of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, published on 3 March 2025, what assessment she has made of the implications for her Department's policies of the findings of that report.
Answered by Emma Reynolds
The government engages with various international organisations, including the United Nations, considering their reports as part of the policy development process. Any decisions on changes to HM Treasury policies are also taken in the context of the wider public finances and the government’s efforts to reform the state and sustainably grow the economy.
