The below Parliamentary question was asked by Phil Boswell on 2015-12-10.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, if he will make an assessment of the implications for his policies on social mobility of the findings of research by the Resolution Foundation, set out in its report, The Pinch, published in December 2015, on differences in household wealth between generations; and what steps the Government plans to take to address such differences.

I note the Resolution Foundation’s work published in December 2015.

This Government is focussed on securing economic prosperity, providing the foundations to support opportunity for all.

Through improved education, work chances, a fairer welfare system and a stronger economy we are aiming to help increase the standard of living for everyone in the UK.
