HC Deb 30 October 1970 vol 805 c230W
Mr. Money

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many wives of United States Service men stationed in the United Kingdom were drawing family allowances in the most recent convenient period for which figures are available.

Mr. Dean

About 1,200 wives of United States Service men are still drawing family allowances to which they became entitled before 6th April, 1970, but since that date new claims from such families have been disallowed.
