Mr. Cummings

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will publish information on(a) the total number of appeals, (b) the number of appellants who were represented, and (c) the number of appellants in both these categories where appeals were successful for each of the social security appeal tribunals in the Strathclyde and County Durham areas for each of the years since 1980.
