Sub-regional fuel poverty figures are not available split by age. More recent figures are available for England and the regions. These show that in 2007, there were around 333,000 fuel poor households in Yorkshire and the Humber and 2.8 million fuel poor households in England. The following table provides figures split by age. Fuel poor households with: A member aged over 65 years A member aged over 85 years Yorkshire and the Humber England 147,000 1,183,000 13,000 144,000 Pensioners: Overseas Residence Mr. Gray: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many UK pensioners are domiciled overseas.

[295092] Angela Eagle: Estimates of poverty, published in the Households Below Average Income series, only allows a breakdown of the overall number of people in poverty at Government office region level. Therefore, information for the Jarrow constituency and South Tyneside region are not available. The Government use a basket of three key thresholds of income, after housing costs, to measure pensioner poverty. Absolute poverty is referred to as 60 per cent. of 1998-99 median income uprated in line with prices.
