§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT details of the social security benefits to 329W which strikers and their dependants are entitled, specifying which benefits may be claimed by those currently on strike from the Post Office, and Ford's, respectively.
§ Mr. DeanThe entitlement to social security benefits of persons involved in trade disputes, including Post Office and Ford's workers, is the same as that for any other person who is out of work, save that (1) unemployment benefit is not payable to any person falling within the disqualification contained in Section 22 of the National Insurance Act, 1965, and (2) a person who falls within the disqualification in Section 10 of the Ministry of Social Security Act, 1966, is not entitled to supplementary benefit for himself but only for his dependants.
