HC Deb 17 November 1986 vol 105 c75W
Mr. Tony Banks

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people in Brighton have received single payments in each year since 1982.

Mr. Lyell

Information is not available in the precise form requested as some claimants may have received more than one payment. During the years ending in early April the numbers of single payments awarded by the Department's Brighton office were as follows:

Number
1982–83 3,275
1983–84 3,722
1984–85 4,906
1985–86 7,771
