Mr. Cox

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people in the Benefits Agency districts serving the London borough of Wandsworth are receiving housing benefit. [33712]

Mr. Roger Evans

On 30 November 1995, the latest date for which information is available, there were 30,500 recipients of housing benefit in the London borough of Wandsworth.

Notes:

  1. 1. Housing benefit is administered by local authorities, consequently these data are not collected on a Benefits Agency district basis.
  2. 2. A "recipient" may be a single person or a couple.
