HC Deb 05 August 1976 vol 916 c1025W
Mr. Jim Spicer

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will give a rough estimate of the amount likely to be paid out to United Kingdom students registered for temporary employment during the summer vacation in social security benefits.

Mr. Deakins

The amount paid out will depend on the number who register and the jobs available, and any estimate could be misleading. In the 1975 summer vacation the cost of unemployment and supplementary benefits paid to students registered for temporary employment was about £8½ million.
