HC Deb 04 February 1987 vol 109 cc695-6W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many are in receipt of (a) mobility allowance and (b) attendance allowance; how many mobility allowance and attendance allowance recipients receive supplementary benefit or are dependants of someone receiving supplementary benefit; and what is his estimate as to the proportion of such people who either receive a higher-rate heating addition for themselves or have one paid to the head of the household on their account for the latest available year.

Mr. Major

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
