Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, at what rates income levels have changed for the (a) bottom-earning and (b) top-earning 10 per cent in each year since 2010.

The lowest 10% of earners have seen the strongest earnings growth since 2010, as highlighted in the table below, which shows gross weekly earnings of all UK employees. Their earnings have grown more than twice as fast as the earnings of the top 10% of earners.
