Cost of Living: Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the cost of living on households in Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire constituency.
Answered by James Murray
The Government is taking a comprehensive approach in response to increasing costs: supporting those in immediate need while addressing the structural changes necessary to fix the country's foundations. The Plan for Change outlines key milestones, including raising living standards in every part of the United Kingdom to put more money back in people’s pockets. In the latest data, living standards (as measured by real household disposable income per capita) are already growing at their fastest quarterly rate in two years.
The Government has set out the next steps in delivering our approach for regional growth, spreading growth across the country through investment and reform. This will benefit people across the country, including in the Inverness, Skye and West Ross-shire constituency.
