§ Mr. LyellGlasgow is covered by 14 of the Department's local offices. Glasgow Central is covered by eight of those offices but their boundaries are not conterminous with those of the constituency. The information requested is shown for years ending early in April. However, the figures are not directly comparable; single payments replaced exceptional needs payments in November 1980.
