HC Deb 14 July 1975 vol 895 c375W
Mr. Evelyn King

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services (1) how many students received benefit in Great Britain during any convenient week in the Easter holidays of 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975, respectively;

(2) how many students received a grant through the Weymouth office in the Easter vacations of 1974 and 1975.

Mr. Meacher

I regret that official statistics are not available. The best information we can obtain suggests that about 200 claims were received during the last Easter vacation in the Weymouth office.
