§ Mr. WebbTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will list the amounts paid to each local authority in the last financial year under(a) the weekly benefit savings scheme and (b) other schemes, in reward to local authorities for action on housing benefit fraud. [118391]
§ Angela EagleThe last full financial year for which we have returns for the weekly benefit savings scheme and the challenge fund scheme, which ran for three years and encouraged councils to bid for funding for innovative anti-fraud initiatives, is 1998–99. I have placed a copy of these returns in the Library.
