§ 27. Mr. Gwilym Robertsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what recent estimate he has made of the number of men in full-time employment whose family income is less than that obtainable through unemployment benefit and social security provision; and what action he is taking to reduce this number.
§ Mr. SwinglerOur main object in increasing Family Allowances this year was to help such families. No reliable estimate of the effect of these increases or of how many such families there are now, is available.
