HC Deb 11 March 1996 vol 273 c415W
Mr. Chris Smith

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what guidance he has issued to local authorities about the form in which they record expenses arising from their responsibilities to asylum seekers following the implementation of new benefit regulations on 5 February. [19612]

Mr. Curry

An official in my Department wrote to all directors of housing in English local authorities on 12 February to advise them about information that they could collect. I am placing a copy of that letter in the Library of the House.
