answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The poverty threshold as measured by the UK Government and the European Union is 60 per cent of median household income. Statistics are published as part of the Department for Work &amp; Pensions (DWP) Households below Average Income (HBAI) release. The HBAI statistics are not produced on a constituency basis.</p><p> </p><p>Estimates of child poverty by constituency are published by HM Revenue &amp; Customs (HMRC), based on benefits and tax credits data. These are available for the years 2006-2014 on the constituency profiles website. Differences in methodology mean the HMRC estimates are not directly comparable with the headline national and regional poverty estimates published in DWP’s HBAI release.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 24/07/2017 10:12:13 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
