HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 cc518-9W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate he has made of the savings of supplementary benefit on cases where investigators terminate abuse, following official investigation, by withdrawing benefit from claimants without that claimant being officially charged with an offence; and how many such cases there were in the last 12 months for which figures are available.

Mr. Orme

None. My Department's records do not show the number of people whose benefit ceases, for whatever reason.
