HC Deb 03 July 1984 vol 63 cc135-6W
Mr. Rogers

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many claims for repayment of money wrongly deducted from supplementary benefit on grounds of voluntary unemployment have been received by local offices of his Department in Porth and Tonypandy as a result of the advertising campaign in March; how many payments have resulted from these claims; and how many such payments had been made prior to the advertising campaign as a result of the check of current files and the publicity for dormant cases, respectively.

Dr. Boyson

No payments in respect of refunds of voluntary unemployment deductions have been made by the Department's Rhondda, West and Porth local offices. The number of unsuccessful inquiries made is not recorded.
