HC Deb 14 February 1968 vol 758 c383W
Mr. Elystan Morgan

asked the Minister of Social Security what is the average amount per head expended by her Department in Wales at the present moment; and what is the corresponding figure for England.

Mrs. Hart:

It is estimated that expenditure on social security benefits in the current financial year excluding administration will average about £52 a head of the population of England and Wales. A comparable separate estimate for each of the countries is not available.
