<p>The information requested falls within the responsibility of the UK Statistics Authority. I have asked the authority to reply.</p><p>Letter from Glen Watson:</p><p>As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what change there has been in median gross pay for women in Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency since 2010. (178349).</p><p>The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), carried out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. Weekly levels of earnings are estimated from ASHE, and are provided for employees on adult rates of pay, whose earnings for the survey pay period</p><p>were not affected by absence. Figures relate to employee jobs, which are defined as those held by employees and not the self-employed.</p><p>I attach a table showing estimates of median gross weekly earnings for female employees in Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency from 2010 to 2012, the latest period for which results are available. These figures show that there was a 10.6 per cent decrease in median gross weekly earnings for women between April 2010 and April 2012.</p><p><table><thead><tr><td valign="top">Mediangross weekly earnings for women1in Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland constituency,2010 to2012<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top" /><td valign="top">£<br /></td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td valign="top">2010<br /></td><td valign="top">**326.1<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">20112<br /></td><td valign="top">**313.2<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">20113<br /></td><td valign="top">**305.5<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">2012<br /></td><td valign="top">**291.5<br /></td></tr><tr><td valign="top">Percentagechange 2010 to 2012(%)<br /></td><td valign="top">-10.6<br /></td></tr></tbody><tfoot><tr><td valign="top">1Employees on adult rates whose pay for the survey pay-period was notaffected by absence.
