HC Deb 13 February 1956 vol 548 cc223-4W
Mr. D. J. Williams

asked the Minister of Pensions and National Insurance how many persons, at the last convenient date, were in receipt of the unemployability supplement under the Industrial Injuries Act; and how many of these were miners.

Mr. Boyd-Carpenter

At 31st October, 1954, just over 100 unemployability supplements were in payment as increases of industrial disablement benefit; and about 300 supplements were also in payment to persons entitled to weekly payments under the Workmen's Compensation Acts. Further analyses by occupation of the beneficiary are not available.
