HC Deb 22 May 1979 vol 967 c118W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the numbers of (a) households and (b) persons in the North-West living below, at 110 per cent., 120 per cent. and 140 per cent. of the supplementary benefit scale rates; and if he will classify this information according to family type and occupational grouping for each year since 1974.

Mrs. Chalker

I regret that we have no such figures on people living in particular areas of England. Such information as is available relates to the whole of the country.
