§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will give the actual, average or estimated, weekly or monthly grants being paid to the Ugandan Asians for any stated period of time; and how these payments compare with the average being paid to those in receipt of normal retirement pensions, the sick and unemployed and those on supplementary benefits.
§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services in view of the prima-facie evidence submitted to him by the hon. Member for West Ham, North, showing that some of the Ugandan Asians now resident in camps in Great Britain are taking advantage of Great Britain's hospitality within the field for which he has Ministerial responsibility in the matter of benefits, what action he proposes to take to change this situation.
§ Mr. DeanI have seen no evidence from the hon. Member to substantiate his allegation. As he already knows, Ugandan Asian immigrants are treated under the supplementary benefit scheme in exactly the same way as other claimants.
