HC Deb 22 October 1984 vol 65 cc522-3W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the latest number of registered unemployed persons who receive no social security benefit of either a contributory of non-contributory nature.

Mr. Whitney

At November 1983, the latest date for which figures are available, there were 376,002 unemployed claimants who were not in receipt of either unemployment or supplementary benefit. Of these, 121,119 had not yet had their claims for unemployment benefit rated. This information comes from the "Quarterly Analysis of Unemployed Claimants" a copy of which is in the Library.
