Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of trends in the numbers of children living in low income households in (a) Enfield North constituency, (b) the London Borough of Enfield and (c) London.

Latest statistics for the levels of children who are in low income in the Enfield North constituency and the London Borough of Enfield are published in “Children in Low Income Families”, and can be found here.

National and regional statistics (including those for London) on the number and percentage of children in low income are published annually in the “Households Below Average Income” publication, and can be found here.

Due to methodological differences, the figures in these two publications are not comparable.
