Intergenerational Fairness

Proceeding contribution from Peter Kyle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 February 2017. It occurred during Estimates day on Intergenerational Fairness.

Does not my right hon. Friend agree that the fundamental core of this issue is that there are people in our society who will succeed because they have assets? However, someone who is talent-rich but asset-poor is unlikely to succeed in life, in terms of getting into the school they need to go to, educational attainment, and health and economic outcomes. The core challenge for our generation is to make sure that everybody has access to the best our economy can deliver, whether they are born into a family with assets or otherwise.
