non-automatic Winter Fuel Payment for winter 2000 who did not claim the benefit. [161048]
Mr. Rooker: Around 1.3 million people have made successful claims for Winter Fuel Payments in respect of winter 2000 out of a
possible 1.5 million people that might have been eligible.
An information campaign has been running since last April. Its aim has been to ensure that existing and potential customers know
about changes to the scheme and what, if anything, they needed to do to get a payment. It was up to the individual to choose whether
to claim a payment.

changes in the growth of social security expenditure to isolate the changes in benefit expenditure on (i) unemployed claimants, (ii)
single parents, (iii) changes in entitlement arising from legislation passed prior to May 1997, (iv) changes in entitlement arising
from legislation passed since May 1997 and (v) other causes; and if he will place a copy in the Library. [160839]
Mr. Rooker: No analysis has been made in the format outlined in the question, as it would not be possible to identify separately the
continuing effects of all legislation since 1991-92.
The analysis that has been carried out is presented in the table.

{1} Figures are rounded to the nearest £0.1 billion. Change figures may not appear to sum due to rounding. {2} Expenditure on
unemployed people by reason of their unemployment, through Unemployment Benefit (1996-97 only), Income Support (1996-97 only),
Jobseeker's Allowance, Housing and Council Tax Benefits. {3} Expenditure on lone parents by reason of their lone parent status,
through Income Support, Housing and Council Tax Benefits. {4} Figures relate to new measures affecting Social Security benefits for
pensioners and families. They do not include Working Families' Tax Credit or Disabled Person's Tax Credit.
Analysis of changes in expenditure on unemployed people and lone parents has been made from administrative data. Analysis of the
change in expenditure arising from legislation since May 1997 affecting social security benefits for pensioners and families has
been made using administrative data and statistical models. The figures provided by the different analyses are not mutually
exclusive, in that some of the changes in expenditure arising from legislative change will have applied to unemployed people and
lone parents, notably the increases in child amounts in income-related benefits. Therefore, the change figures cannot be added
together. The figures do not account for all the changes since 1991-92, nor do they cover all groups of recipients.

Mr. Field: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if national insurance numbers are checked to ensure that the declared
income is the only source of tax income. [158200]
Mr. Rooker: [holding answer 23 April 2001]:
The Department uses available information to detect discrepancies in declared income.
When a claim is made for Income Support (IS) or Jobseekers' Allowance (JSA) claimants are required to provide evidence of any
declared income, for example wage slips for earnings or payment slips for occupational pensions. Details on the pay slips are
checked by Benefits Agency (BA) staff for deductions from pay, including the rate of income tax. Where the amount of tax deducted is
disproportionate to the gross payment, or the tax code quoted seems inappropriate, further inquiries are made to establish if there
is another source of taxable income being paid to the claimant.
Regular checks are made on continuing claims where there is a declared source of income to ensure that any changes have been
reported. These checks not only confirm the net payment made to the claimant but also the details of any deductions for tax and NI.
Once again, this information can act as an indicator of other taxable income.
In addition to checks made on claims where there is a declared income, the Department work closely with Inland Revenue (IR) to
detect those claimants in receipt of IS and JSA who fail to declare that they have commenced remunerative work. Tax form P46 is
completed by employers for all new employees who are unable to provide a P45. IR is able to provide data to the Department of all
P46 completions on a monthly basis.
The Department match the NINOs of all employees who appear in the P46 data with the NINOs of claimants who have a current claim to
IS or JSA. Where the employment start date overlaps a benefit claim by more than four weeks, the case is referred to the Benefit
Fraud Investigation Service (BFIS) for investigation.

Mr. Willetts: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how many child support cases have been calculated using the new
assessment procedure in the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999. [161049]
Angela Eagle: Section 80 of the Welfare Reform and Pensions Act 1999 amended the Child Support Act 1991 to permit the Inland Revenue
to disclose information on the earnings of self-employed non-resident parents to the Child Support Agency for the purposes of
assessing child support liability.
As at 16 March 2001 the Agency had contacted the Inland Revenue on 7,632 occasions for income details of self-employed non-resident
parents.
