§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what are the latest figures for average gross earnings per week of(a) disabled adult men, (b) disabled adult women, (c) the male working population in general and (d) the female working population in general in Wales.
§ Mr. GristFigures for earnings of disabled persons in full-time employment in Great Britain are contained in table 3.1 of report 2 of the OPCS surveys of disability in Great Britain—"The financial circumstances of disabled adults living in private households"—published in November 1988 by HMSO and available in the House of Commons Library.
Corresponding statistics for the disabled in Wales are not available, but figures for average gross weekly earnings obtained from the new earnings surveys were £238.6 and £168 for all full-time adult males and females respectively in April 1989.
