HC Deb 12 July 1971 vol 821 cc25-6W
Mrs. Doris Fisher

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what survey of the incomes of council tenants has been undertaken since the publication of Report No. 62 of the National Board for Prices and Incomes, Command Paper No. 3604.

Mr. Amery

No subsequent survey has been carried out on the scale of that undertaken by the National Board for Prices and Incomes in 1968, but the Department of Employment's continuing annual Family Expenditure Survey provides information on the incomes of all households, including those of council tenants. Income analyses of council tenants derived from the F.E.S. are published from time to time in Housing Statistics (Great Britain), copies of which are in the Library.
