The total cost of unemployment benefit and unemployment assistance for the period 1st January, 1957 to 31st December, 1968 was £72,353,165.
Do these figures include the cost of administration?
No. It is not possible to apportion the cost of administration as between one scheme and another but, if administration were included, a considerable amount would have to be added.
