Actually quite a small amount when you consider the elderly rack in £3.61.
Of course this isn't exactly it works but it does go to show quite how small the amount the 'bings that lay on their backs dropping sprogs whilst watching Jeremy Kyle' take of the national spending.

nice to see a post based on facts.
I noticed the government included pensions in the massive social security budget figure they read out to the TV cameras, which is why that figure seems so high as a 3rd of the budget.
