HC Deb 13 February 1995 vol 254 cc540-1W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security for what reasons the £2,500 threshold limit for the compensation recovery unit has not been adjusted to take account of inflation; and what plans he has to increase the threshold.

Mr. Roger Evans

Frequent adjustments to the limit could create a disproportionate administrative burden and raise costs. Consequently, we have no immediate plans to increase it.
