Mrs. Renée Short
asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much has been spent on supporting the unemployed and their families in (a) Wolverhampton and (b the West Midlands during the financial years 1979–80, 1980–81 and to the present date.
Mr. Newton
I regret that information on the total of unemployment benefit by geographical area is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Information on other forms of support is not available.
