HC Deb 09 November 1971 vol 825 c105W
27. Sir B. Rhys Williams

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a White Paper comparing the principle features of the British social security system and those of the countries of the European Economic Community and the other countries of the European Free Trade Association.

Sir K. Joseph

Comparative social security tables covering Great Britain, the Six and most of the E.F.T.A. countries are in the Library of the House. I do not think that the publication of a White Paper on the subject would be appropriate.
