HC Deb 23 May 1990 vol 173 c207W
Mr. Ralph Howell

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will give details of the number of manual entries made each week by his Department in the administration of the benefit system before 31 March and as a result of extra entries due to the community charge changes, after 1 April.

Mrs. Gillian Shephard

Details of the number of manual entries made each week by the Department in the administration of the benefit system before 31 March and as a result of extra entries due to the community charge changes, after 1 April, are not readily available and could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost.
