HC Deb 26 January 1977 vol 924 cc675-6W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services in how many cases in the last 12 months for which figures are available his Department has prosecuted persons for drawing benefit in respect of rent, which money has not then in fact been spent on rent; and whether this is counted as fraud by his Department.

Mr. Orme

None. In cases where persistent failure to pay rent after a sum

suitable toilet facilities will be provided for disabled members and staff. Special arrangements for disabled members of the public are under consideration.
