PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
INCOME INEQUALITY (3 May 2011)
Motion Details
That this House notes the findings of the Equality Trust that societies with smaller income differences between rich and poor have fewer health and social problems, such as teenage births, violence, mental illness and drug abuse; further notes that such societies have higher levels of trust between citizens and more social mobility; and therefore encourages the Government to promote policies that reduce income inequality.
