HC Deb 17 December 1971 vol 828 c217W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the annual cost of the take up of their entitlements of all those persons or families entitled to the present range of available means-tested benefits.

Sir K. Joseph

I regret that owing to the many variable factors governing entitlement it is not possible to provide such an estimate.
