Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services on how many occasions in the last 12 months for which figures are available a person prosecuted and convicted of social security abuses has been fined less than the amount by which that person defrauded his Department.

46,000 local authority tenants and some 5,000 tenants of private landlords.
