§ Mr. GrahamTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the average waiting time for people on invalidity pension who have had to wait for the upgrading in line with inflation in Scotland; and if he will name the benefit offices with waiting lists of four weeks and over.
§ Mr. ScottI understand from Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency that the information in the form requested is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost, but that the uprating exercise was completed in the normal way. However, if the hon. Member has a particular case in mind, he may wish to write to the chief executive giving further details.
