HC Deb 10 April 1973 vol 854 c245W
Mr. Sheldon

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate he has made of the numbers of people entitled to claim but who do not take up supplementary benefit; and what estimate he has made of the saving to the Department arising from this.

Mr. Dean

The information requested is not available. We are however at present examining the data available from the family expenditure survey to see whether it can be used for such purposes.
