Conclusion (the committee's words)
WGA has the ability to illuminate long-term risks and structural pressures on public finances, offering Parliament a more strategic lens for oversight. We questioned the Treasury on how it was going to make the WGA a more integrated part of people’s financial awareness and financial thinking. The Treasury replied that it intended to streamline the performance report and present it in a more visual, accessible format. It explained that future reports will use infographics and QR-enabled features to increase online engagement, alongside HTML-based formats to offer a more interactive experience for the public.12
