HC Deb 23 July 1976 vol 915 c661W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what action he proposes to take in view of the letter he has received from the hon. Member for Newham, North-West, showing that a person has received £100 supplementary benefit in a week, that this man has had £300 in a month, that his family are also drawing benefit and that he has only been in the country for five weeks, never contributing ½p in taxes or national insurance contributions.

Mr. Orme

These figures are not accurate, but I am writing to my hon. Friend.
