HC Deb 03 June 1980 vol 985 c618W
36. Mr. Soley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the amount of fraud of his Department's benefits in the 12 months to the latest convenient date.

Mr. Prentice

A precise estimate is not possible. I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Perry Barr (Mr. Rooker) and other hon. Members on 25 March.—[Vol. 981, c. 1155–59.].
