HC Deb 29 January 1979 vol 961 c353W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what is the latest estimate of the total per capita personal income, before tax, for Wales, Scotland and England, respectively.

Mr. Robert Sheldon

Total personal income per capita before tax is estimated to have been £1,839 in Wales, £1,923 in Scotland, and £2,040 in England, in 1976 the latest year for which estimates are available. These estimates are on a different basis to those given for Welsh counties in reply to the hon. Member on 28 June 1978, which were average taxable incomes per tax unit.
