HC Deb 18 February 1985 vol 73 cc389-93W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the average payment made under the exceptionally severe weather allowance scheme in 1985; and ii he will provide a regional breakdown of this figure.

Mr. Whitney

The information requested is not available centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. When the period during which payments could be made is over, local offices will be asked to make a return so that the total number of payments made this winter and the cost can be ascertained.

Mr. Winnick

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether heating payments for severe weather are to be made for the week ended 17 February.

Mr. Whitney

I understand that on the basis of the criteria set out in paragraphs 7426–7459 and appendix 19 of the S Manual (a copy of which is in the Library) the chief adjudication officer has decided to advise local adjudication officers that the "exceptionally severe weather" condition in Supplementary Benefit (Single Payments) Regulation 26 has been satisfied in the following areas.
