Mr. Allen Adams
asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what proportion of the Scottish population is currently earning less than the national average wage.
Mr. Alexander Fletcher
This information is not available in the form requested. However, in April 1982, 58 per cent. of full-time adult male earners in Scotland earned less than £150 per week. Average earnings for full-time adult males in Great Britain were £154.50 per week. Some 67 per cent. of full-time adult female earners in Scotland earned less than £100 per week. Average earnings for full-time adult females in Great Britain were £99 per week.
