§ Mr. Stan Crowtherasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many members of clerical staffs in local offices of the Department are receiving family income supplement.
§ Mr. Orme:I regret that information is not available in the form requested. Recipients of family income supplement (FIS) are classified in sixteen broad occupational categories. Clerical and office workers in all types of employment make up one such category. We estimate that in June 1978 they accounted for about one in eight of all FIS beneficiaries.
