question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they hold data on the family circumstances of babies born to low income families in the UK; if so, which department holds those data; and how many babies were born to low income families that had (1) parents in a couple relationship, and (2) a single parent, in the last five years for which figures are available.
tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL1592
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>Information on the number of children born into families in low income is not available for any period.</p><p> </p><p>This is because the main sources of income data only capture a household's situation once a year. Therefore we do not record the income of the family on the day the child is born. The sample size for households with very young children will be small and it may also be the case that the response rate from families with very young children will be lower than usual and therefore may not be representative.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 19/09/2017 15:31:52 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe
