To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many people in each constituency in Scotland were in receipt of winter fuel payments in each year since 2000; and how much was claimed in each constituency in each year. (100936)

The information that is currently available has been placed in the Library. Information on the amount of winter fuel payments paid in each constituency in Scotland for the years 2004-05 and 2005-06 is not currently available as age-related payments were combined with winter fuel payments in those two years. I shall write to the hon. Member as soon as the information becomes available.
