§ Ms. Harmanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how much was paid out to claimants for exceptionally severe weather in 1985 by (a) Blenheim grove office SE15 (b) Bournemouth road office SE15 (c) London offices;
(2) how many claims were accepted for payment under exceptionally severe weather in 1985 in (a) Blenheim grove office (b) Bournemouth road office (c) London offices.
§ Mr. Newton[pursuant to his reply, 24 February 1986, c. 471]: It is estimated that approximately 7,500 claims were accepted for payment and £83,500 was paid by offices in the London area. This estimate is based on returns from 88 per cent. of offices in that area. A total of 361 claims were accepted for payment and £3,524 was paid out to claimants by the Bournemouth road office, SE15. I am afraid that because of a clerical error the information requested is not available for Blenheim grove office, SE15.
