§ Mr. Wigleyasked the Secretary of State for Wales if he will publish a table showing the average per capita income in each of the eight counties of Wales for the most recently available year.
§ Mr. Alec JonesTaxable incomes per head for each of the eight counties of Wales for 1974–75 were as follows: (1)(2)
£ Clwyd … … 878 Dyfed … … 819 Gwent … … 909 Gwynedd … … 784 Mid Glamorgan … … 878 Powys … … 841 South Glamorgan … … 971 West Glamorgan … … 934 (1) Based on data from the Inland Revenues Survey of Personal Incomes 1974–75. (2)Population figures used are the Registrar-General's mid-year estimates for 1974 for the Welsh counties. These figures are derived from a sample survey of incomes reviewed for tax purposes by the Inland Revenue for the year of assessment 1974–75. Incomes below £625 per annum, the tax limit for that year, are excluded as are other 368W incomes not liable to tax—for example, certain social security benefits. As the data are based on a sample survey, the figures, particularly for the less populated counties, are subject to appreciable margins of error.
