HC Deb 13 December 1989 vol 163 cc668-9W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what collation of statistics his Department undertakes on how many claimants have been taken out of the priority categories eligible for community care grants; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Scott

Priority categories for community care grants have not been changed. Statistics relating to the number of refusals of community care grants on grounds of insufficient priority are in annex 9(1A) of the Secretary of State's annual report on the social fund 1988–89, a copy of which is in the Library.
