HC Deb 22 February 1991 vol 186 c290W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to publish the estimates on take-up for income-related benefits from the 1989 family expenditure survey.

Mr. Jack

Estimates of take-up of benefits cannot be produced until some time after the relevant data from the family expenditure survey has first become available. We hope to publish the 1987 take up estimates within the next few months, and those for 1989 will follow in due course.
