§ Mr. Tony Banksasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much has been paid out in board and lodging allowances in his Department's offices covering the Brighton, Kemptown and Brighton, Pavilion constituencies since 1979; how many claimant units received payment; and what is the average payment.
§ Mr. LyellI regret that information on amounts and numbers of supplementary benefit board and lodging allowances is not collected by individual local offices and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
