The Household Below Average Income (HBAI) publication looks at household incomes in the UK, but the latest available figures only cover up to the financial year 2018/19 and so do not measure the time period in which COVID-19 has had an impact.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) also produce estimates of household income and household financial net wealth for the whole of the UK. While the latest data published is not broken down by age and region, it indicates that for the UK as a whole real household disposable in 2020 Q3 was 1.9% higher than the same quarter in 2019. Household financial net wealth as a proportion of income was 366% in 2020 Q3, up from 342% in Q4 2019.</p><p> </p><p>Throughout the pandemic, the Government has sought to protect people’s jobs and livelihoods across the UK, including in Coventry North East constituency, Coventry, the West Midlands and England and across all ages, including the young.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>Wow Air was an airline based in Iceland operating under an Icelandic Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) and was not regulated in the UK by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). In line with previous insolvencies of non-UK regulated airlines, both the CAA and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office have issued advice for affected passengers on their websites.</p><p>Given the number of consumers affected, the CAA believes that there is sufficient capacity available in the market for passengers to make their own travel arrangements. The CAA has put in place comprehensive consumer advice to support this. The majority of passengers will be able to recover costs through their credit /debit card bookings, or from travel insurance.</p><p>The Department recognises that this is a disruptive time for passengers, and the Government’s immediate priority is to support those affected. The Government will continue to monitor the situation and work with the CAA and industry to ensure the correct advice is easily available to those UK citizens affected by the Insolvency of Wow Air.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 04/04/2019 10:57:34 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
