Wealth: Equality
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of trends in the level of wealth inequality.
Answered by James Murray
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) publishes the Gini coefficient for aggregate household wealth, which is a measure of wealth inequality, and this is released every few years using the Wealth and Assets survey. The ONS has published the Gini coefficient of wealth since July 2006.
