§ Mr. Hume
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what information is available about social fund budgets in each of the past four years to indicate the pattern of priority categorisation constraints for each social security office in Northern Ireland.

§ Mr. Hume
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what evaluation and comparative analysis has been conducted by the Department of Health and Social Services or the Social Security Agency of the distribution of the social fund budget with regard to equality of treatment and need targeting across all districts; and if he will publish that research.

§ Mr. Ancram
The Department of Health and Social Services and the Social Security Agency regularly monitor and evaluate the working of the social fund and information of the relative levels of need is one of the factors taken into account in allocating budgets to districts. Details of the basis of allocation and district allocations for 1993–94 have been placed in the Library.
