HC Deb 05 May 1981 vol 4 c10W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many individuals in receipt of (a) attendance allowance and (b) mobility allowance were also in receipt of a heating allowance in 1980–81.

Mrs. Chalker

This information is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.

Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many individuals were granted an additional heating allowance because of (a) chronic ill health, (b) as a result of being housebound and (c) as a result of being bedfast due to ill health.

Mrs. Chalker

I regret that our statistical records do not identify these conditions separately. The broad categories of those receiving heating additions are set out in table 34.45 of Social Security Statistics 1980.
