Mr Major’s Written Parliamentary Answer on Single Payments – 27 February 1987

Below is the text of Mr Major’s written Parliamentary Answer on Single Payments on 27th February 1987.


Mr. Flannery Asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many single payments for maternity items were made to women in Sheffield in the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Major I regret that the information requested is not collected by individual local offices and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
