HC Deb 03 April 1979 vol 965 c562W
24. Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what further measures he proposes to prevent waste and fraud of social security benefits.

Mr. Orme

I refer the hon. Member to the second report of my Department's co-ordinating committee on abuse, which I placed in the Library of the House and made available to the press on 11 January 1979. Part II of the committee's report lists over 20 current major studies into better methods of tackling social security fraud and abuse.
