HC Deb 26 February 1976 vol 906 cc352-3W
Mr. Edge

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services by how much payments of earnings-related sickness benefit would increase if all payments were based on earnings in the previous tax year, irrespective of there being any previous periods when benefit was payable.

Mr. O'Malley

I regret that information on which to base an estimate is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate administrative cost.
