Income Inequality (EDM1775)

Income Inequality

EDM number 1775 in 2010-12, proposed by Caroline Lucas on 04/05/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Equality and Incomes and poverty.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 111 MPs.
