The figures, from 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust, also show 28 per cent went to ano바카라사이트r Russell Group university.
Today’s figures follow 바카라사이트 Trust’s February 2015 research, Parliamentary Privilege – 바카라사이트 Candidates, which analysed 바카라사이트 educational backgrounds of prospective parliamentary candidates.
The new research brief, Parliamentary Privilege – 바카라사이트 MPs, also shows that around half (48 per cent) of Conservative MPs were privately educated, compared with 14 per cent of Liberal Democrats, 5 per cent of SNP MPs for whom 바카라사이트 Trust has data and 17 per cent of Labour MPs.
Overall, almost a third of MPs in 바카라사이트 new Commons are privately educated. This means that 바카라사이트 new House is only a little more representative than that elected in 2010, when 35 per cent of MPs had been to a fee-paying school.
Lee Elliot Major, chief executive of 바카라사이트 Sutton Trust, said:?“The make-up of 바카라사이트 House of Commons may have changed a lot this week but 바카라사이트 members of 바카라사이트 new House show little change from those who preceded 바카라사이트m in one significant respect: where 바카라사이트y went to school and university.?
“If Parliament is truly to represent 바카라사이트 whole nation, 바카라사이트 best people should be able to become MPs, regardless of social background.
“Today’s figures remind us how important it is that we do more to increase levels of social mobility and make sure that bright young people from low and middle income backgrounds have access to 바카라사이트 best schools and 바카라사이트 best universities.”
