Oecd Report On Inequality

EDM number 2324 in 2007-08, proposed by Martin Caton on 22/10/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Economic situation and Incomes and poverty.

That this House welcomes the report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) showing that the gap between rich and poor in the UK narrowed in the first five years of this century; notes, however, that it still found this country to be a more unequal society than three quarters of OECD nations; and agrees with the OECD secretary general that growing inequality is divisive, polarizes society, divides regions and carves up the world between rich and poor.

This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
