HC Deb 22 January 2001 vol 361 c465W
Mr. Dawson

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people from Lancaster and Wyre are claiming minimum income guarantee. [145614]

Mr. Rooker

There are around 2,500 recipients of the minimum income guarantee in the parliamentary constituency of Lancaster and Wyre.

Notes:

1. Figures are based on a 5 per cent. sample and are therefore subject to a degree of sampling error.

2. Pensioners are defined as where the claimant, and/or partner are aged 60 or over.

3. Figures are rounded to the nearest hundred.

4. Cases are allocated to each Parliamentary Constituency by matching the postcode against the 2000 version 1 ONS Postcode Directory.
