HC Deb 21 April 1971 vol 815 c405W
Mr. Sillars

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how much was spent by his Department on unemployment benefit in March, or the nearest available full month, in each of the employment exchange areas in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Dudley Smith

The information is not readily available in the form requested and could be obtained only at a disproportionate cost. I will write to the hon. Member when the information that is available has been assembled.
