§ Mr. William Hannanasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will provide a table showing the number of wage earners and/or salary earners in each of the income groups £250 to £499, £500 to £999, £1,000 to £1,499, and over £1,500 in Scotland, Wales and regional areas of England, and the percentage of total incomes in each region that fall within each range.
§ Mr. NottI am not sure what the hon. Member has in mind. Wages and salaries are only one component of total income, which also includes income from several other sources including the wages and salaries of married women. If the hon. Member will write to me saying precisely what he wants, I should be happy to provide such figures as are available.
