§ Mrs. Jegerasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many men during the preceding two years have lost their entitlement to social security payments on the grounds that they have been co-habiting with employed women.
§ Mr. MeacherNo continuing records are kept, but a sample inquiry in 1974 showed that in a period of three months, three men lost their entitlement because they were living with women whose earnings were sufficient for their joint requirements.
