Answer: Mr. Cox: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many (a) families and (b) children living in the London Borough of Wandsworth on 1 January have benefited from the working families' tax credit. [149366] Dawn Primarolo: For the number of families benefiting in Wandsworth, I refer my hon. Friend to my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Lancaster and Wyre (Mr. Dawson) on 22 January 2001, Official Report, column 425W. The publication referred to in that answer also gives the national average number of children per family receiving Working Families Tax Credit (WFTC). The 5 per cent. sample used for these analyses is too small to yield a reliable separate estimate of the average number of children for families receiving WFTC in Wandsworth.
