§ Mr. Kenneth Clarkeasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the total amount of social security benefit that has been paid to Mr. Patrick Keane since he revealed the full circumstances of his case to the Press on 9th November 1975; and when the appeal tribunal is to hear his case in order to consider his entitlement to benefit following his refusal of a place at a re-establishment training centre.
§ Mr. O'MalleyAs I told the House on 18th December—[Vol. 902, c. 1815–16] —during the debate on the administration of social security benefits, I am not at liberty to disclose details of benefit paid in an individual case. The hon. Member may, however, wish to know that arrangements are not being made to report Mr. Keane's case to the appeal tribunal since he is already attending a reestablishment centre.
