HC Deb 29 October 1993 vol 230 c846W
Mr. Battle

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will publish the number, age and gender of claimants without accommodation, by Benefits Agency local and district offices, and the number who are submitting sick certificates.

Mr. Burt

I understand from Mr. Michael Bichard, the chief executive of the Benefits Agency, that the information requested is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
