HC Deb 31 January 1991 vol 184 c618W
Mr. Dewar

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland what proportion of households in Scotland have a weekly income of less than £100.

Mr. Lang

It is estimated that in 1989 approximately 25 per cent. of households in Scotland had gross income below £100 per week; just over two thirds of these were one-person households. This is the latest year for which information is available from the family expenditure survey.
