HC Deb 29 June 1973 vol 858 cc427-8W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will conduct a study of hardship suffered in low income areas.

Sir K. Joseph

I have been asked to reply.

The problems of low income families are not confined to low income areas. We have in hand a number of studies concerned with the situation of such families and I would wish to examine the results of these before considering the need for further work which was confined to particular geographical areas.
