§ 48. Mr. Livseyasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what studies he has conducted into the distribution of income within families with low incomes.
§ Mr. NewtonStudies in connection with the social security review looked at the difference in income distribution between families as a tax unit and households, which may include other adults, though not into the distribution of family income between all the different members of the family. The Green Paper (Cmnd. 9519) refers to the differences in apparent income if young unemployed adults are treated as members of the household in which they live rather than as individuals.
