HC Deb 08 July 1975 vol 895 c97W
38. Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will so arrange her statistical section as to be able to reveal the age groups within which supplementary benefits are most commonly made available.

Mr. Meacher

Detailed information reflecting the characteristics of recipients of regular weekly payments of supplementary benefit is collected annually in November using random sampling techniques. The main results, including analyses by age groups, are published in "Social Security Statistics", a copy of which is available in the Library.
