Mr. Michael
To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many people are currently receiving family credit or income support in (a) Wales as a whole, (b) each county in Wales and (c) each district council area in Wales.
Mrs. Gillian Shephard
I refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Caernarfon (Mr. Wigley) on 18 May at column 568. Income support information is only available by social security region, or for Wales as a whole. At November 1989, some 253,000 claimants in Wales were in receipt of income support.
