HC Deb 07 February 1967 vol 740 c276W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer (1) what, at the last convenient date, was the average level of income per head for persons living in Wales; and how this figure compared with the corresponding average level for persons living in England;

(2) what, at the last convenient date, was the average income per head of persons living in the five mid-Wales counties;

(3) what, at the last convenient date, was the average income per head of persons living in Cardiganshire;

(4) what is the number of people in employment in Cardiganshire who are earning under £10 per week.

Mr. MacDermot

The only figures available for income per head by region are derived from the Family Expenditure Survey carried out for the Ministry of Labour. The latest figures relate to the period 1963–64, for which the average weekly income per person in Wales was 135.97s. The comparable figure for England was 155.75s. I regret that no figures at all are available for parts of Wales.
