HC Deb 11 June 1974 vol 874 c509W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many individuals have been prosecuted for making false claims when applying for supplementary benefits for amounts less than £25.

Mr. Robert C. Brown

The information requested is not available. Where fraud has occurred over a period, only specimen charges are preferred, and the amount shown in the summonses will not necessarily reflect the full extent of the fraud.
