Abstract

Until 1988 the Government produced a series of statistics, known as 'Low Income Families' (LIF), every two years. The figures showed the numbers of people receiving supplementary benefit (SB) and the numbers not receiving SB but with incomes either below their SB line or up to 140 per cent of that line. The figures produced in 1988 (DHSS, 1988a) updated the series to the year 1985, which is the latest year for which such figures have until now been available.
