Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

I cannot say that. I can say, however, that most households are better off. Let me quote what the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said:"““The income tax and NI package has been cleverly designed to limit the number of losers””." Indeed, the gains are particularly concentrated in the lowest income deciles. Our policy is to give extra help to families, to do more to lift children out of poverty and to protect the position of pensioners, and that is what the package does.
