question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Lord Taylor of Holbeach on 31 January (HL Deb, col 1584), on what data they base their claim that income inequality is lower than in 2010; and whether those data take account of housing costs.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2018 answer text <p>This statistic is based on the ONS’s ‘Household disposable income and inequality in the UK: financial year ending 2017’ report, released January 2018. It shows that the Gini coefficient for disposable income inequality is lower than it was in 2010.</p><p>This measure of disposable income takes account of direct taxes and benefits, but does not take account of housing costs.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>The government is committed to building an economy that works for everyone and supporting people with protected characteristics. For example, we have increased the personal allowance and the National Living Wage; by 2018-19, over 700,000 women will be taken out of income tax altogether, and over 60% of those currently benefitting from the National Living Wage are women. The female employment rate is at a joint record high, and the gender pay gap for full-time employees is at a record low. The government is also spending over £50bn per year on benefits to support disabled people and people with health conditions.</p><p>The EHRC analysis ignores the benefits of a strong economy to reducing inequalities, and ignores the benefit of public services like the NHS and social care. It also makes assumptions about income sharing within households, which are poorly evidenced, and may not reflect reality.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 20/12/2017 16:31:08 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
