(asked on 11th June 2015) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the effect of economic inequalities on growth.
This question was answered on 18th June 2015
The UK was the fastest growing G7 economy in 2014 and the OECD forecasts that we will be so again in 2015. At the same time, UK income inequality is lower than it was in 2010-11 and living standards are forecast to be higher than they have ever been this year.
