Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT full details of the various social welfare cash benefits paid on 18th June, 1970 taking the purchasing value of the £ sterling then as 100p; and what, for each stated month to date, these benefits were worth after allowing for the depreciation of the £ sterling.

Mr. Dean

The following table gives the information requested:

the local authority associations, and in the light of these discussions I shall be giving guidance to authorities later in the year.
