HC Deb 28 February 1977 vol 927 cc58-9W
Mr. Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many cases of fraud or abuse have been uncovered in the social security transactions of the Peterborough office of his Department in each of the past four years; and in how many cases prosecutions were instituted.

Mr. Orme

Such localised information does not form part of our normal records: the cost of obtaining and analysing it would not be justified by any use to which it could be put. However, I am writing to my hon. Friend.
