HC Deb 21 February 1978 vol 944 cc587-8W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will take action in future to obtain figures to show how much was paid in total or annually to claimants for social security benefits who have not been in Great Britain for one year or more, have not contributed for one year to the National Insurance Fund or have paid no income tax.

Mr. Orme

No. Such information would serve no useful purpose.
