§ Mr. Rookerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Birmingham, Perry Barr, of 28 January, Official Report, c. 433, he will publish the factual and analytical material to show how the savings referred to in the answer and which either commenced or occurred in 1980–81 and 1981–82 affect the financial year 1982–83 in the amounts shown in his answer.
§ Mrs. ChalkerAs indicated in my reply, the figures were intended to give a broad indication of the overall savings arising from social security changes. The original estimates of the savings were not re-calculated in detail because of subsequent interactions. To publish all the data for estimates made some time ago for all these items would require considerable research the cost of which could not be justified.
