§ Mr. BradleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people, not on other benefits, are now receiving a disability premium with council tax benefit on the ground that they are incapable of work; and how many(a) existing recipients of the premium and (b) new claimants he estimates will be found capable of work in (i) 1995–96, (ii) 1996–97 and (iii) 1997–98. [18801]
§ Mr. HagueWithin council tax benefit, the number of people receiving the disability premium without other benefits is negligible. It is therefore not possible to estimate how many will be found capable of work in future years.
