WORK AND PENSIONS

Benefits Payment

Mr. Willetts: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many benefit recipients there are in each constituency in Great Britain; and how many of them collect their benefits from post offices, excluding those who use network banking arrangements. [167329]

Mr. Pond: The information is not available in the format requested. A table has been placed in the Library, which provides the total number of benefits in each constituency, and shows how many of those accounts receive at least one benefit payable at a post office. The information is from data available at 21 February 2004.

Included in payment through the post office are customers paid into post office card accounts and customers paid by girocheque. Girocheques are encashable either at a post office or they can be paid into a bank or building society account. These figures do not include war pensions and child benefit customers as these accounts are the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence and Inland Revenue respectively.

Some customers who are paid direct into an account can also collect their payments in cash at post offices through the wider range of banking services now available at the post office. There is no data available on the number of benefit claims collected in this way.

Correspondence

Mr. Kaufman: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions when he intends to reply to the letter from the right hon. Member for Manchester, Gorton, dated 2 March, with regard to Mr. S. West, transferred to him by the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry. [167261]

Maria Eagle: All civil servants are subject to the Business Appointment Rules, which set out the circumstances in which they must seek permission to accept outside appointments within two years of leaving Crown employment. A copy of the rules is available in the Libraries of the House. Information about appointments taken up by the most senior staff is published in the annual reports of the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments. The next annual report will be published shortly.

⁽²⁷⁾ Medical advice is that, of the range of disabling mental conditions recorded for the purposes of DLA, these four are clearly forms of "illness", as opposed to developmental abnormality.
⁽²⁸⁾ Denotes nil or negligible.
Notes:
1. Figures are based on a 5 per cent. sample at 31 August each year (consistent with answers to your related questions 168152 and 168153).
2. Figures are in thousands and rounded to the nearest hundred.
3. Figures marked "*" are less than 500 and subject to a high degree of sampling variation.
4. In the first two years of records, dates of birth for some recipients are not available.
5. From November 2002, the methodology for producing these figures was changed to allow statistics to be published much sooner. This has resulted in a small increase in the reported caseload. This is because some cases which have actually terminated but have not yet been updated on the computer system are now included.

3. In the first two years of records, dates of birth for some recipients are not available and this has resulted in some expenditure being grouped in the 'unknown' age group.

Notes:
1. Figures are based on a 5 per cent. sample at 31 August in each year, and are therefore subject to a degree of sampling variation.
2. Figures are in thousands and rounded to the nearest hundred.
3. Figures marked "*" are less than 500 and subject to a high degree of sampling variation.
4. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
5. From November 2002, the methodology for producing these figures was changed to allow statistics to be published much sooner. This has resulted in a small increase in the reported caseload. This is because some cases which have actually terminated but have not yet been updated on the computer system are now included.
6. The 'Other' category comprises of 25 conditions, including alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse has been listed separately, along with a breakdown of the conditions covered by the 'Other Mental Health Causes' category to provide the equivalent breakdown to that provided in a related PQ, PQ 168151. PQ 168151 asks about mental illness which has been defined as psychosis, psychoneurosis, personality disorder or alcohol abuse

Note:
1. Figures are consistent with outturn expenditure as published in the DWP benefit expenditure tables.
2. Expenditure has been apportioned using disability type data from the DLA Quarterly Statistical Enquiry which is based on a 5 per cent. sample and therefore subject to a degree of sampling variation.
3. Figures are in 2004–05 prices, calculated using the latest GDP deflator.
4. Figures are rounded to the nearest million pounds.
5. Totals may not sum due to rounding.
6. Figures for 2003–04 are estimated outturn.
7. The 'Other' category comprises of 25 conditions, including alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse has been listed separately, along with a breakdown of the conditions covered by the 'Other Mental Health Causes' category to provide the equivalent breakdown to that provided in a related PQ, PQ 168151, PQ 168151 asks about mental illness which has been defined as psychosis, psychoneurosis, personality disorder or alcohol abuse.
