HC Deb 13 July 1994 vol 246 c640W
Mr. Bradley

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what are the estimated savings to his Department arising from each clause of the Social Security (Incapacity for Work) Bill, as amended.

Mr. Scott

The Social Security (Incapacity for Work) Bill received Royal Assent on 5 July 1994.

The estimated savings taking account of amendments passed are in the table. Sections 1 and 2 have been grouped because it is not feasible to apportion the savings further. The figures show only the savings arising out of the Act itself.

Section 1995–96 £ million 1996–97 £ million
1 and 2 -150 -335
3 n/a n/a
4 -160 -475
5 -50 -180
6 n/a n/a
7 n/a n/a
8 negligible negligible
9 n/a n/a
10 +5 +5
11 n/a n/a

Note: Estimates are expressed in constant 1993–94 prices and are rounded to the nearest £5 million.
