Letter from Stephen Penneck, dated January 2010:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Question asking what the most recent estimate is of the (a) mean and (b) median gross annual pay by place of (i) residence and (ii) work for people in areas classified as (A) major urban, (B) large urban, (C) other urban, (D) significant rural, (E) rural -50 and (F) rural -80. (309499)
The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), carried out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. Annual levels of earnings are estimated from the ASHE, and are provided for employees on adult rates of pay, who have been in the same job for more than a year. The required area classification based on the Rural/Urban Local Authority classification is only available for England.
I attach a table showing the mean and median gross annual earnings for full-time employees by (i) place of residence and (ii) place of work in (A) major urban, (B) large urban, (C) other urban, (D) significant rural, (E) rural -50 and (F) rural -80 for England in April 2009.

| (1) Full-time employees on adult rates who have been in the same job for more than one year. As at April 2009. Guide to quality: The Coefficient of Variation (CV) indicates the quality of a figure, the smaller the CV value the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV-for example, for an average of 200 with a CV of 5 per cent., we would expect the population average to be within the range 180 to 220.
