Disposable Income: North West

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the expected distributional impact is of the 2025 Budget measures on households in the North West of England.

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

The government is committed to growing living standards in all parts of the country in a fair and progressive manner, and has acted at Budget 2025 to cut the cost of living for households across the nation.

HM Treasury’s ‘Impact on households’ publication, produced alongside the 2025 Budget, shows that the impacts of government tax, welfare and public service spending decisions from Autumn Budget 2024 onwards. This analysis can be found here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/69269c6222424e25e6bc31bb/Impact_on_households.pdf

HM Treasury does not produce a distributional assessment of policy decisions at a subnational level.
