Work and Pensions written question – answered at on 24 October 2013.

The postcodes for East Riding are covered by Leconfield, Linton on Ouse and Sheffield weather stations. As the weather station areas are based on the climate of the relevant postcodes, they do not align with any standard regional mapping. When the estimates become available, I will place a copy in the House of Commons Library, showing the regions that overlap with each weather station.
