HC Deb 09 March 1981 vol 1000 c251W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action his Department took in the case of a self-confessed drug addict whose name has been supplied to him and who publicly admitted to obtaining £77 per week social security benefits, to ascertain whether during this period he was willing and available for work before paying him social security benefits; and why his common law wife also drew social security benefits.

Mrs. Chalker

If the hon. Member will let me have the information I will look into the matter.
