HC Deb 20 February 1978 vol 944 cc488-9W
Mr. Newton

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the number of people in receipt of invalidity allowance at each of the various levels of payment, and the cost in each case; and if he will estimate how these numbers and costs would be affected if invalidity allowance were extended in relevant cases to those in receipt of noncontributory invalidity pension and housewives' non-contributory invalidity pension.

Mr. Alfred Morris

I regret that the information is not readily available, but I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
