HC Deb 20 June 1978 vol 952 cc162-3W
Mr. Patrick Jenkin

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate he has made of the number of teenagers receiving supplementary benefit while still at school.

Mr. Ennals

None. It has come to light that some teenagers have received supplementary benefit while still at school but we have no evidence that these cases are numerous. During the last 12 months there have ben five prosecutions.
