HC Deb 20 February 1976 vol 905 c855W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will list in the Official Report the latest available estimate of the amount fraudulently claimed in social security benefits, before taking account of repayments, and break down this total between supplementary benefit and each of the national insurance benefits.

Mr. O'Malley

I regret that figures are not recorded of the amount detected as fraudulently claimed, but only of the amount lost after taking account of repayments.
