What Will Budget 2012 Mean For UK Poverty?

Just found a new briefing from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation which has some interesting things to say about how potential policy decisions in the 2012 budget will affect poor places and people in the UK. The briefing looks at 6 issues:


  • raising the income tax threshold

  • tax credits, work incentives and poverty rates

  • the 'mansion' tax and housing

  • increasing housing supply

  • older people

  • funding social care

The full briefing is available to download here.
