§ 32. Mr. Leaveyasked the Minister of Labour when it is intended to collect and to publish statistical and other information to show the analysed expenditure of families of representative income groups, such as was covered by the last Household Expenditure Inquiry.
§ Mr. HareInformation of this type has been collected by the small scale continuing Family Expenditure Survey which commenced in 1957. It is hoped to publish material in respect of the first three years of this Survey later this year.
