Chris Stephens
Shadow SNP Spokesperson (Fair Work and Employment)
To ask the Chancellor of the exchequer, how many equal pay reviews there have been in HMRC since 2010; what the dates were of those reviews; and whether HMRC plans to undertake an equal pay review in 2019.
Jesse Norman
The Financial Secretary to the Treasury
The chancellor of the exchequer is the government's chief financial minister and as such is responsible for raising government revenue through taxation or borrowing and for controlling overall government spending.
The chancellor's plans for the economy are delivered to the House of Commons every year in the Budget speech.
The chancellor is the most senior figure at the Treasury, even though the prime minister holds an additional title of 'First Lord of the Treasury'. He normally resides at Number 11 Downing Street.
