HC Deb 14 November 1974 vol 881 c206W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the annual cost of crediting all national insurance contributions for the duration of students' full-time courses of education.

Mr. Alec Jones

The cost is estimated to be of the order of £5 million to £10 million, depending on the incidence of claims to benefit that would arise in vacation periods.
