To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many people in Scotland received the winter fuel allowance for the 2002–03 winter, broken down by (a) local authority and (b) parliamentary constituency; and what percentage these figures represent of the total numbers eligible for the allowance in each local authority and constituency. [117100]
Around one million people in Scotland received a winter fuel payment for the winter of 2002–03. Information broken down by constituency and local authority is not yet available but figures for 2001–02 are given in the tables. Most, but not all, people aged 60 and over are eligible for a winter fuel payment. The majority of entitled people receive their payments automatically but some have to claim and, because of this, we cannot provide a percentage of eligible people who received a payment.
