HC Deb 06 March 1979 vol 963 c669W
Mr. Fitt

asked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many people in West Belfast are in receipt of family income supplement.

Mr. Carter

Family income supplements are issued from a central office and the numbers of people receiving family income supplements in particular Districts could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. At 23 February 1979, the latest date for which information is available, there were 8,413 families receiving family income supplement in Northern Ireland.
