HC Deb 06 February 1979 vol 962 cc136-7W
Mrs. Chalker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will state in the Official Report the number of extra-statutory payments, the reasons for them and their total amounts made in each of the past 10 years under the administrative arrangements regulated by the Treasury and covered by the Appropriation Accounts.

Mr. Deakins

The following list shows where extra-statutory payments have been noted in the Appropriation Accounts of the Votes for which my Department is accountable. I regret that I cannot provide the information more precisely in the form requested without a disproportionate use of Departmental resources:
