§ Mr. Peter LloydThe information requested can be obtained from the Library.
However, social fund data for March 1989 are not yet available as a check of the figures has revealed some inaccuracies which have resulted from a new method of calculating the month end balances. The necessary adjustments are being made and the tables will be placed in the Library shortly.
In addition, the value of applications processed during December 1988 remains unavailable because of an earlier computer malfunction.
