§ Mr. David Clarkasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people successfully claimed family income supplement in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region; what is this as a percentage of those who claimed; and what are the comparative figures for each of the constituent divisions of the county.
§ Mr. DeanI estimate that about 10,000 families in the Yorkshire and Humberside departmental region have successfully claimed family income supplements. Information about claims which are not successful is only available for Great Britain as a whole. I regret that at present there are no statistics of awards for smaller areas than departmental regions but we hope to have some information in the summer.
