§ Mr. BurtThis information is not available.
The family resources survey collects data on the amount of money respondents have in different accounts, but only for those respondents who are willing to provide an estimate of the value of their total savings and report a value between £1,500 and £20,000. Around 35 per cent. of all households surveyed fall into this category.
