HC Deb 29 January 1990 vol 166 c33W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how much money he anticipates will be saved in housing benefit in Scotland by the introduction of student loans in 1990–91.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

Estimates of housing benefit expenditure are made on a Great Britain basis, and no disaggregation for individual countries is possible. I regret that it is therefore not possible to provide information in the form requested.
