HC Deb 21 January 1992 vol 202 c181W
Mr. Allen

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what was the annual cost to the Exchequer of means-tested benefits claimed by full-time students in each year since 1979, at current prices.

Miss Widdecombe

Information about the amount of benefits claimed by full-time students is not routinely kept and is therefore not available in the form requested.
