§ 52. Mr. Tim Rentonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimates he has made of the number of those who are receiving more by way of social security benefits when out of work than when in work.
§ Mr. OrmeI would refer the hon. Member to my reply to the hon. Member for Aberdeen, South (Mr. Sproat) on 22nd November.—[Vol. 919, c.975.] The available information does not enable reliable estimates to be made comparing the work and potential benefit incomes of the employed population generally.
