To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment his Department has made on the effect of the level of poverty on (a) the cost of public services, and b) revenue accrued to the public purse.
The government is focused on tackling the root causes of poverty, such as education and worklessness, to improve the lives of people in our country.
Since 2010 the number of people in poverty has fallen – there are 1,000,000 fewer people, including 300,000 fewer children, in absolute poverty (before housing costs), both record lows. Helping people off welfare and into work, helps the economy grow, means we can spend more on other priorities like the NHS and infrastructure and gives more people the opportunity to get on in life. Since 2010 there are 3.3m more people in work and the unemployment rate is at its lowest since 1975.
HM Treasury does not analyse the aggregate impact of the level of poverty on public services and government revenue.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment her Department makes of the (a) payment of minimum wage, (b) payment of living wage and (c) use of zero hours contracts when tendering for public procurement contracts.
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what assessment her Department makes of the (a) payment of minimum wage, (b) payment of living wage and (c) use of zero hours contracts when tendering for public procurement contracts.
Through the procurement tender process, DFID requires suppliers to comply with all relevant UK legislation which includes the requirement to ensure that payments to their employees meet the requirements of the national minimum wage. It is for workers and employers to decide the level of wages above the minimum wage based on individual circumstances. DFID will always award contracts on the basis of the best value for money for the taxpayer—which includes the low paid.
The UK labour market is one of the most flexible in the world because we allow individuals and businesses to agree patterns of work that suit them. We do not regulate the minimum number of hours people can work and we allow people and companies freedom to agree these terms themselves.
