HC Deb 16 January 2002 vol 378 c380W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what the income distribution was in each of the last five years in each region of Britain. [26275]

Malcolm Wicks

The latest such information available, relating to the financial year 1999–2000, can be found in the publication "Households Below Average Income 1994/5–1999/00", a copy of which is held in the Library. Results for earlier years are also in the Library. However, year on year comparisons of this information at a regional level are not advisable as any changes over time are likely to be small in relation to sampling variation.
