HC Deb 05 December 1977 vol 940 c516W
Mr. Forman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many employees would be involved and what would be the additional cost to public funds of retirement for men at the ages of 60, 61, 62, 63 and 64 years, respectively, in the latest full year for which figures are available; and how these sums compare with the cost to public funds of paying basic unemployment benefit to the same number of employees over the same period of time.

Mr. Orme

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
