HC Deb 27 January 2003 vol 398 c649W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will list for each year since 1997 his estimate of the average cash savings held by families on low incomes. [91982]

Malcolm Wicks

The information is not available. The Department's Family Resources Survey provides information on savings, however data are not available for average amounts of savings because this information is not collected for all respondents.
