HC Deb 07 May 1993 vol 224 c299W
Mr. Jenkin

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what additional provision for annual recurring expenditure in his Department has been made following rulings of the European Court of Justice in each year since the implementation of the Single European Act.

Miss Widdecombe

Special provisions are made only on a case-by-case basis, for annual recurring expenditure as a result of cases referred to the European Court of Justice. None of these cases arose as a result of the Single European Act, which does not contain any specific measures relating to social security. Provision for expenditure since 1 July 1987 is in the table.

£ million
1988–89 3.0
1989–90 3.0
1990–91 8.3
1991–92 13.7
1992–93 23.5
