§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the income distribution was in each of the last five years in each region of Britain. [26275]
§ Malcolm WicksThe latest such information available, relating to the financial year 1999–2000, can be found in the publication "Households Below Average Income 1994/5–1999/00", a copy of which is held in the Library. Results for earlier years are also in the Library. However, year on year comparisons of this information at a regional level are not advisable as any changes over time are likely to be small in relation to sampling variation.
