The information requested by the Deputy is detailed in the following table.

It should be noted that the county level statistics indicate the number of people with an adult dependent on the live register in January at an office located in the county indicated. As the catchment areas of many local offices cross county borders, this may differ in some cases from the county of residence of the recipients concerned.
