Disallowed Unemployment Benefit

Mr. Redmond
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will list by month for the last 12 months and by employment region the number of people disallowed unemployment benefit.

Mr. Ancram
Responsibility for the subject in question has been delegated to the Social Security Agency under its chief executive, Mr. Alec Wylie. I have asked him to arrange for a reply to be given.

Letter from Alec Wylie to Mr. Martin Redmond, dated 8 July 1993:

As I am responsible for Social Security operational matters, your recent Parliamentary Question on the number of disallowances of Unemployment Benefit in the employ-ment regions of Northern Ireland each month in the last 12 months has been passed to me for reply.
