HC Deb 28 January 1975 vol 885 c89W
62. Mr. Kenneth Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how much was paid in benefits to the families of strikers during 1974; and how much of this was payments to the families of those on unofficial strikes.

Mr. O'Malley

The total amount of supplementary benefit paid to families of strikers was £4,994,090. I regret that it is not possible to distinguish payments made to the families of those on unofficial strikes.
