(W.P.: White Paper. B.R.: Beveridge Report). Comparative Statement of Estimated Income, 1945 (in £ millions) Present Relevant Services Beveridge Plans White Paper Plan Receipts from contributions of insured persons & employers 136 331 283 Interest on existing funds 15 15 15 Expenditure to be met from Exchequer (or local rates) 278 351 352 429 697 650 This table is compiled from White Paper, Table VII, page 55, and Beveridge Report, Table page 207. The figures in the accompanying tables do not give an entirely accurate comparison of the costs involved in the White Paper and in the Beveridge Plan. The Beveridge figures are increased relative to those of the Government by the inclusion both of Industrial Injury Insurance contributions from employers, employees and the State, and the cost of Training Benefit. These costs, though they will be met from public funds, do not enter into the Government's Social Security budget, which therefore is proportionately lower than the Beveridge estimate. Secondly, the Government plan to supplement their lower Children's Allowances by the expenditure of some £60 millions on free school meals and milk.
