HC Deb 27 June 1972 vol 839 c299W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take the necessary action to ensure that statistics are maintained in future to show the number of persons receiving unemployment benefit, sickness benefit or retirement pensions in the London Borough of Newham on a similar basis to those as available for persons receiving supplementary benefit.

Mr. Dean

No. I consider that the expense involved in maintaining such statistics would not be justified.
