§ Ms. GordonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) if he will publish a table showing the number of people receiving income support who, at the time the award was made, were living in the postcode areas covering Tower Hamlets;
(2) if he will publish a table showing the number of families receiving family credit who, at the time the award was made, were living in the postcode areas covering Tower Hamlets.
§ Miss WiddecombeI understand from Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency, that the information in relation to income support is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Mr. Bichard will write to the hon. Member with the information in relation to family credit, and copies will be placed in the Library and the Public Information Office.
