HC Deb 23 June 1992 vol 210 c137W
Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 9 June,Official Report, column 136, what studies his Department has undertaken of the proportion of income support for people in residential care required for (a) living support, (b) housing support and (c) care.

Mr. Burt

None. No study has been made by the DSS of specific items of expenditure within income support. The Price Waterhouse survey commissioned by the Department and published in October 1990 did make a distinction between running costs and capital costs. A copy is in the Library.
