HC Deb 17 May 1982 vol 24 c38W
Mr. Field

asked the Secretary of State for Employment whether, at the same time as the data are collected, his staff employed in analysing the family expenditure data could include the tabulation of income of families at various levels relative to the supplementary benefit level; and whether he will make a statement.

Mr. Waddington

These specialised analyses cannot be readily carried out when the basic data are initially tabulated for publicaion by this Department, and responsibility for such analyses will remain with the Department of Health and Social Security.
