Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate his Department has made of the median income in (a) Tower Hamlets, (b) London and (c) the UK in each of the last five years.

Estimates of median incomes are published in the National Statistics Households Below Average Income (HBAI) series.

Estimates of the median income are not available at a constituency level. This is because the survey sample sizes are too small to support the production of robust estimates at this geography.

Estimates of median income at a regional and national level over time on a three-year average basis are available from the latest Households Below Average Income publication in table 2.5ts which can be accessed here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/households-below-average-income-hbai-199495-to-201213
