HC Deb 13 February 1997 vol 290 c314W
Mr. Booth

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what was the real take-home pay of a family on average earnings in(a) 1991–92 and (b) 1996–97. [14193]

Mr. Jack

Real take-home pay in 1996–97 prices for a family on average earnings around £296.40 per week in 1991–92 and £311.05 per week in 1996–97. This same family should be around £370 better off next year.
