HC Deb 02 December 1996 vol 286 c537W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what data sets his Department(a) holds and (b) updates on low-income families in Wales. [6057]

Mr. Gwilym Jones

Information on the distribution of household income in Wales is available from a number of official sources including the Office for National Statistics' annual family expenditure survey and the Department of Social Security's annual family resources survey. The Welsh Office does not routinely collect any additional statistics on household income.
