The answer to question S1W-2555 was drawn from the Households Below Average Income dataset using the Family Resources Survey which does not have sufficient sample size to produce the required level of detail at Scottish local authority level.The Scottish Household Survey will provide information on household income by local authority area after the first full sweep of the survey (i.e. after two years) - the results of which are not likely to be made available until summer 2001.Work is also underway to investigate new methodologies and to consider boosting existing samples to give better coverage for Scotland to try to overcome this problem.
