HC Deb 02 May 2002 vol 384 c956W
Mr. Davidson

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland how many pensioners in Glasgow, Pollok are receiving the minimum income guarantee; and what estimate she has made of the numbers of those who are eligible but have not claimed. [52479]

Mr. Foulkes

In the Glasgow, Pollock constituency, some 3,600 people benefit from the minimum income guarantee. Estimates of the number of pensioners eligible but not claiming minimum income guarantee are not available below Great Britain level. Figures for Great Britain are included in the publication "Take Up of Income Related Benefits: Statistics for 1999-2000".
