HC Deb 02 December 1993 vol 233 cc721-2W
Mr. Pickthall

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many students in 1992–93 on further education courses whose parents are on income support, lost the additional allowance and child benefit on achieving their 19th birthday part way through a course; and how many such students failed to complete their studies.

Mr. Burt

This information is not available.

Question to the Secretary of State for Social Security asking how many disabled persons are employed on (a) a full-time basis and (b) part-time in Benefits Agency local offices in (i) Strathclyde, (ii) Scotland and (iii) elsewhere in Great Britain; and what proportion of the staff these employees represent. Attached at Annex A are the figures requested. I should explain that the figures quoted for disabled staff only relate to those who are registered as disabled. Information is not available for disabled staff who are not registered. I have attached at Annex B a list of the Agency's local offices which have been included in the figures for Strathclyde. I hope you find this reply helpful. A copy will appear in the Official Report and a copy will also be placed in the Library.
