HC Deb 22 July 1987 vol 120 cc250-4W
Mr. Gordon Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many claimants received exceptionally severe weather payments at each benefit office in each constituency of Scotland in the winter of 1986–87; and how much was paid out at each office.

Mr. Scott

[pursuant to his reply, 10 July 1987, c. 313]: The information is not available in the precise form requested. Figures are available on the number of £5 payments but not the number of individuals receiving payment. The great majority of successful claimants will have received £5 in respect of each week for which help was available in their area.
