HC Deb 12 February 1986 vol 91 c492W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will provide a breakdown of the number of social security claimants in Leyton and Leytonstone at the latest date for which figures are available and at the comparable date in each year since 1979 broken down by pensioners aged 80 years and over, pensioners aged 60 to 79 years, sick and disabled, one-parent families, low-paid families, unemployed families, single people, childless couples, widows and others.

Mr. Major

The London postal districts of Leyton and Leytonstone are covered by the Department's office at Leytonstone although the boundaries are not conterminous.

Figures of people receiving supplementary benefit from that office at December 1985—the latest available—and at comparable dates in the years since 1980 — the earliest available—are available only in the following form:

health warnings; how many meetings he has had with them; and how many meetings he has had with the tobacco industry since October 1985.

Mr. Whitney

Thirty-five written representations have been received from health interests since July. Ministers have met the chairman and officers of the Health Education Council. Five meetings with tobacco industry representatives have been held at ministerial or official level since October, and further meetings are planned.
