§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he has received the communication from the hon. Member for Newham, North-West concerning the case of Captain Nigel Windsor Waite, who drew social security benefits to which he was not entitled for 10 years; why it took so long to deal with the case; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PrenticeI have received the communication from the hon. Member and was already aware of this case. It will not be possible to say anything more, however, until all the relevant documents have been examined after they have been returned by the police.
