Asked by Paula BarkerLabourTreasuryTabled Answered 9 September 2024UIN 3215

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.
