HC Deb 30 January 1979 vol 961 c387W
Mr. Sydney Irving

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many people did not receive the £10 Christmas bonus because the qualifying date was fixed at the week commencing 4 December.

Mr. Orme

I regret this information is not available. Whatever qualifying date had been chosen there would have been a number of people who did not qualify for the bonus.
