A report by Alan Milburn (Unleashing Aspiration) released today says that top professions like medicine and law are increasingly being closed off to all but the most AFFLUENT families.
Note, the most affluent, not the brightest and the best, but the wealthiest.
We must work to close the gap between talent and privilege, we need a far fairer society where everyone gets an opportunity to contribute to the best of their abilities and is not excluded because of an accident of birth.
The full report is available from the Cabinet Office website as a PDF file (http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/227102/fair-access.pdf), well worth the reading.
