To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what conclusion was arrived at by the lone parents receiving benefit pilot study carried out at Leicester and Sittingbourne benefit offices which ended on 24 February; if he will list the location of the 44 benefit offices that will be involved in the national study due to commence in April 1989; and when this will be completed.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The pilot study carried out at Leicester and Sittingbourne was intended to test the effectiveness of the sampling method and questionnaire proposed for the main study. As a result of the experience of the pilot the researchers are considering some minor alterations to the questionnaire. The social security offices participating in the main study are listed as follows. The final report is due in May 1990.
