§ Mr. MitchellTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to publish his Department' s next estimate of the take-up of income-related benefits. [136549]
§ Mr. BayleyThe next annual statistics on the take-up of income related benefits will be published on 8 December 2000. These will cover the financial year 1998–99, the latest period for which data are available. They will therefore predate the introduction of the Minimum Income Guarantee and Working Families Tax Credit.
