§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what plans he has to ensure the statistics collected in Wales as part of the United Kingdom's annual "General Household Survey" permit a reliable disaggregated report on the state of wealth and poverty in Wales to be isolated from the aggregated United Kingdom database. [5023]
§ Mr. Gwilym JonesI understand from the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, which conducts the "General Household Survey" on a Great Britain basis, that there are no plans at present to increase the coverage in Wales. Further information relating to Wales is available from a range of other sources including the "Family Expenditure Survey" and the "Family Resources Survey".
