§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment what percentage of full-time working men in Cornwall earn less than £100 a week; and what is the figure for the United Kingdom as a whole.
§ Mr. NichollsInformation on the distribution of earnings from the new earnings survey sample indicates that, in April 1987, some 8 per cent. of full-time male employees in Cornwall on adult rates, whose gross earnings were not affected by absence, earned less than £100 per week. The equivalent figure for the United Kingdom as a whole is just under 5 per cent.
