HC Deb 21 March 1989 vol 149 c544W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security (1) how many families in(a) Greenock and Port Glasgow, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland as a whole are in receipt of family credit;

(2) how many families in (a) Greenock and Port Glasgow, (b) Strathclyde and (c) Scotland as a whole were in receipt of family income supplement in the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

I regret that information about family credit on this basis is still not available. In June 1987, the latest date from which figures are available, 27,000 families in Scotland were in receipt of family income supplement. No information is available about claims from particular local areas.
