Personal Income
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what estimate she has made of the proportion of UK income going to workers in each of the next five years.
Answered by Torsten Bell
HM Treasury does not prepare forecasts for the UK economy. These forecasts are the responsibility of the independent Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR).
The OBR publishes its forecasts in their Economic and Fiscal Outlook (EFO). The OBR’s latest EFO can be found here: Economic and fiscal outlook – March 2026 - Office for Budget Responsibility. This includes the OBR’s forecast for the labour share of income at March 2026 which can be found in tab 1.6 of this link: Detailed Forecast Economy Tables.
