Households Below Average Income

HC Deb 26 October 1995 vol 264 c820W

Mr. Peter Ainsworth

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he intends to publish any amendment to "Households Below Average Income: a statistical analysis 1979–1992/93". [40237]

Mr. Andrew Mitchell

I have today placed in the Library of the House an addendum to the publication "Households Below Average Income: a statistical analysis 1979–1992/93" published on 2 June 1995. This sets out the minor corrections necessary in a number of places in the document, as a result of two data errors. Both errors are well within the margins of error which were set out in the original publication.

I have written to the hon. Members correcting replies to parliamentary questions based on the incorrect data. Details of these parliamentary questions are in the table.
