§ 60. Mr. Wilkinsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number of wage-stopped supplementary benefits paid per week at the latest available date in Bradford; what proportion this represents of supplementary benefits paid to those unemployed in Bradford; and how this compares with the proportion of wage-stopped benefits among those unemployed nationally and receiving supplementary benefit.
§ Mr. DeanOn 23rd November, 1971, there were 313 unemployed persons in Bradford receiving supplementary benefit who had their allowances restricted under the wage-stop provision. This figure represented 7.6 per cent. of unemployed persons receiving supplementary benefit in Bradford. The corresponding national percentage was 5.2 per cent.
