HC Deb 05 February 1968 vol 758 c8W
66. Sir C. Osborne

asked the Minister of Social Security how many coloured immigrants she estimates are now receiving social benefit payments; and what is the approximate annual cost.

Mr. Loughlin

Figures of social security beneficiaries which distinguish coloured, or other, immigrants are not maintained, since social security benefits are paid as of right, if the relevant conditions are satisfied, regardless of a claimant's country of origin.
