HC Deb 17 July 2000 vol 354 c37W
Mr. Davidson

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many reports of the Benefit Fraud Inspectorate have been published in respect of(a) local councils and (b) other organisations, in Scotland. [130297]

Mr. Rooker

The Benefit Fraud Inspectorate (BFI) reports on the administration of Social Security benefits by local authorities and seeks to drive up standards of administration.

To date, we have published eight reports following BFI inspections of Housing and Council Tax Benefit administration in local authorities in Scotland.

BFI has not published reports on any other organisations in Scotland.
