§ Mr. BradleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many lone parents were refused budgeting loans as a percentage of the total number of applicants during the year 1992–93.
§ Mr. ScottSocial fund data are recorded by application rather than by applicant. In 1992–93, the number of applications for a budgeting loan from lone parents which did not result in an award was 11.4 per cent. of all budgeting loan applications received.
