HC Deb 20 April 1983 vol 41 c131W
Mr. Richard Wainwright

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many prosecutions are pending as a result of work recently undertaken by the special claims control unit in the Huddersfield office of his Department; what are the estimated sums of money involved; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Newton

Proceedings are being considered in five cases, but no final decisions have yet been made. The total sums overpaid have not yet been determined but the annual benefit saving has been calculated to be more than £12,500.
