HC Deb 22 May 1984 vol 60 c416W
Mr. Maclean

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services why only £4,811 was recovered from overpayment of £182,188 of salaries, fees and allowances for the financial year ended 31 March 1983.

Mr. Kenneth Clarke

We do not collect information of this kind centrally. Decisions are largely in the hands of individual authorities who are instructed to act in acccordance with departmental guidance and to take legal advice where necessary.
