A statement on economic inequality was adopted by Meeting for Sufferings (MfS) on Saturday 5 April.  ‘Quakers in Britain commit ourselves to redress the growing inequality of wealth and income in our country… The progressive movement towards greater economic equality of the mid twentieth century has been in reverse since the 1980s. Britain has become one of the most unequal societies in the developed world, where wealth is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a minority.’
