§ 17. Mr. Tony BanksTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on income distribution.
§ Sir George YoungReal incomes have risen on average for all economic status groups since 1979—risen 50 per cent. for pensioners, risen for the unemployed, risen for those in full-time work and in part-time work and risen for the self employed.
