HC Deb 25 March 1976 vol 908 c288W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the average national insurance payment made by the father who is supporting a wife and two children.

Mr. Michael Meacher

If he were an employed earner his payment on average would be about £3.40 a week at present. National insurance contributions are not affected by family responsibilities.
