HC Deb 23 June 2004 vol 422 c1408W
Helen Jones

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many children in low income households(a) live within the 20 per cent. of wards which are classified as most deprived and (b) live outside those wards. [179242]

Mr. Pond

I have been asked to reply.

The information is not available in the format requested. Specific information regarding low income for Great Britain is available in "Households Below Average Income 1994–95 to 2002–03".

The fifth annual "Opportunity for all" report (Cm 5956) sets out the Government's strategy for tackling poverty and social exclusion and presents information on the indicators used to measure progress against this strategy. Both documents are available in the Library.
