§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will publish a table showing the increase in earnings in cash and real terms for each socio-economic group since 1987.
§ Mr. OppenheimThe closest available information to that requested is for occupations, which is published in tables 8, 9 and x3 of part A of the "New Earnings Survey" for each of the years.
The information on the retail prices index—all items—at April, to convert figures to 1994 prices, is published in table 6.4 of the Employment Gazette and in table 26 of the "Annual Supplement Economic Trends" for April of earlier years.
