asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will estimate how many tenants in each of the housing authorities in Wales will experience a diminished weekly housing benefit as the result of the new regulations published on 19 March; how many of those affected have already experienced a decrease in housing benefit in April 1984 and November 1985; and how many so affected are (a) pensioners and (b) handicapped people living in sheltered accommodation,

I regret that the information on which to base the estimates requested is not available.
