HC Deb 08 June 1992 vol 209 c52W
16. Mr. Nigel Griffiths

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what representations he has had on the levels of benefit payable to people with disabilities.

Mr. Scott

We receive a large volume of correspondence on disability benefits some of which touches on the rate of benefit payable. Under this Government, spending on benefits for disabled people has risen by 173 per cent. in real terms, a record of which we are rightly proud.
