HC Deb 26 November 2001 vol 375 c713W
Mr. Goodman

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many(a) men, (b) women and (c) children of each ethnic group in the Wycombe constituency are classified as socially excluded [14872]

Malcolm Wicks

Poverty and social exclusion are complex multi-dimensional issues, affecting many aspects of people's lives—including income, health, housing, the quality of their environment and opportunities to learn. There is therefore no single measure that can be used to classify people as socially excluded.
