Mr. John D. TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what is the average per capita income in(a) Northern Ireland and (b) each constituency within Northern Ireland; what have been the figures for each of the past five years; and if he will make a statement. [28849]
§ Sir John WheelerThe average gross weekly incomes in Northern Ireland, for each of the years 1990–1995, was as follows:
£ 1994–951 326.32 1993 302.71 1992 281.25 1991 285.21 1990 256.59 1989 220.46 1 Financial year April 1994–March 1995. This information is taken from the published results of the Northern Ireland family expenditure survey. Due to a change in definitions, the income measure for 1992 and subsequent years is not strictly comparable with those for earlier years. Information on income is not available by parliamentary constituency.
