HC Deb 05 May 1972 vol 836 c232W
Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the estimated savings derived from disallow. ing benefits to women alleged to have been cohabiting with men.

Mr. Dean:

An approximate estimate of savings in 1971 in cases in which cohabitation has been established by special investigators is £887,000. There is also a saving for which figures are not available, in cases resolved by the local office without reference to the special investigator.
