§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what has been the total sum of money identified in cases dealing with social security fraud and abuse in Scotland in the latest available year.
§ Mr. RossiThe total weekly benefit savings recorded by staff employed on fraud and abuse activities in central and local offices of the Department in Scotland amounted to some £350,000 in 1980–81. It is not possible to make an accurate estimate from this of the total benefit savings achieved in Scotland.
