§ Mrs. Bridget PrenticeTo ask the President of the Board of Trade what are the current average household insurance premiums for(a) self-contained flats, (b) two-bedroom houses and (c) four-bedroom houses in each parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. NelsonI have been asked to reply.
The figures in the tables are from the 1992 family expenditure survey and are of direct payments by households. The figures are for United Kingdom standard regions as data by parliamentary constituency are not available. The survey has a small number of households in some of the categories, so the figures are subject to large sampling variations. The figures are average weekly expenditure, rounded to the nearest lop. The survey does not distinguish between self-contained flats and non-se if-contained flats.

§ Mr. NelsonI have been asked to reply.

Similar information on structural insurance is not available from the family expenditure survey.
