§ Mr. SteinbergTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if, on a similar basis to his answer to the hon. Member for Bradford, West (Mr. Madden) on 22 June,Official Report, columns 575–80, he will publish figures showing the average total weekly benefit payable to disabled claimants in (a) Durham and (b) England, before and after the social security reforms of April were completely phased in.
§ Mr. Peter LloydI regret that this information is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The Department's published "Impact of the Reformed Structure of Income-Related Benefits", a copy of which is in the Library, shows the estimated effects of the reformed benefit system on, among others, the sick and disabled. Tables 9A and 9B show in both cash and structural terms the estimated average change in disposable income of the sick and disabled.
