Mr. Willetts: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to Table B12 on page 156 of the pre-Budget Report, if he
will provide a breakdown of the revisions to forecast social security spending in each of the financial years (a) 1999-2000, (b)
2000-01 and (c) 2001-02 by (i) category of benefit and (ii) the factors leading to the revised figures. [99399]
Mr. Darling: Estimates of Departmental Annually Managed Expenditure for Great Britain made at the time of the March 1999 Budget are
in Table 1 of the Social Security Departmental Report 1999 (Cm 4214).
Table A sets out the revised projections of expenditure for each DSS benefit from 1999-2000 to 2001-02, in respect of Great Britain.
These estimates are comparable with figures in Table B12 of the pre-Budget Report which are provided on a United Kingdom basis. I
refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland for details of social security expenditure
for Northern Ireland.
Table B sets out revised departmental projections of additional expenditure on Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, met from
local authorities' General Funds, or included within their Housing Revenue Accounts.
The sum of the total expenditure in Table A and the additional Local Authority expenditure in Table B is comparable with the grant
total of social security spending on benefits in Table 8 of the Social Security Departmental Report 1999.
Paragraph B43 of the pre-Budget Report sets out the main factors affecting estimates of social security Annually Managed Expenditure
since the March 1999 Budget.
