HC Deb 04 December 1985 vol 88 cc271-2W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the number of unemployment, supplementary or other social benefits that have been wrongly calculated by Department of Health and Social Security offices during the past five years and the number of cases in which claimants have been required to pay back excess monies which have been paid out to them by mistake.

Mr. Newton

The information requested is not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
