Research by the Resolution Foundation finds that data held by the Office for National Statistics misses almost £800 billion of assets held by the wealthiest one per cent of households
UK productivity has fallen 28 per cent below its pre-crisis trend, the Resolution Foundation says, responding to the latest productivity figures from the Office for National Statistics.
Melanie Onn, the Shadow Minister for Housing, Communities and Local Government has asked an urgent question in Parliament on statistics relating to the deaths of homeless people.
Figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures released on 16 May 2016 show 3.9 million people in the UK are in persistent poverty. The figures show one in three people have experienced poverty in recent years, underlinng the precarious nature of work in Britain.
The media has been buzzing with reports that the number of gay, lesbian and bisexual people in Britain does not appear to be as high as previously thought. But arguments over the accuracy of the figures suggest that those on both sides are misguided. Categorising people on the basis of their sexual orientation advances neither equality nor our understanding of sexual diversity.
