HC Deb 16 March 1987 vol 112 c411W
Mr. Cohen

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if, pursuant to his answer of 2 March, Official Report, column 495, he will publish information submitted to him by local authorities of the costs they will need to incur in connection with the new housing benefit scheme.

Mr. Lyell

This information is not yet available. Local authorities' estimates of their costs in preparing for the reforms are still being received and collated.
