HC Deb 14 January 1980 vol 976 c664W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will publish in the Official Reporta detailed list of persons who were at a stated date in receipt of social welfare benefits within the range of £60 to £90 per week, £90 to £110 a week and above £110 per week; and how many of these were receiving such benefits for periods above six months on a continuing basis.

Mrs. Chalker

I could not publish a detailed list which disclosed the identity or other confidential details of particular beneficiaries, if that is what the hon. Member has in mind. In any event, I regret that the information requested could only be assembled at disproportionate cost.

Forward to
