Pensioners: Lancashire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate she has made of levels of pensioner poverty in (a) Fylde constituency and (b) Lancashire in winter 2024-25.
Answered by Torsten Bell
Statistics on the number of pensioners living in relative and absolute poverty both before and after housing costs are produced on an annual basis and published in the Households Below Average Income statistics.
Statistics on the number of pensioners living in relative and absolute poverty are not available at a constituency or county level.
The latest available data covers financial year ending 2024, and is published by the Department here Households below average income: for financial years ending 1995 to 2024 - GOV.UK
Poverty figures relating to the financial year 2024-25 will be published in due course.
