138. Mrs. Gordon

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what number and proportion of the work force are ineligible for national insurance benefits.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

This information is not available. Entitlement to National Insurance benefits depends on meeting certain conditions applicable to the benefit involved, and these are tested only when a claim is made.
