HC Deb 06 July 1972 vol 840 cc218-9W
Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many young persons in full-time education are in receipt of benefit in respect of wife and children.

Mr. Dean

If the hon. Member has in mind supplementary benefit, I regret that the information is not available.

Mr. Kinnock

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what was the total amount paid in benefit to young men in full-time education in respect of their wives and children in the last year for which figures are available.

Mr. Dean

The information about supplementary benefit is not available and could be obtained only at disproportionate expense.
