HC Deb 10 July 1984 vol 63 c533W
Mr. Sean Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give the total number of people claiming social security benefits from the Huyton office of his Department; and what this figure represents as a percentage of the population served by this office.

Dr. Boyson

There were 14,742 supplementary benefit cases in action at the Huyton local office in May 1984, the latest available period. Records of the number of people receiving contributory benefits in each local office area are not kept. A comparison with population served by the local office is not available.
