Almost five million adults live in jobless homes

The Crompton family, nicknamed 'Britain's Biggest Freeloaders' by their neighbours in Hull, live in a seven-bed house and get 33,000 a year.

Harry Crompton, 51, has been out of work for 15 years and his wife Tracey, 41, has never had a job. Yet thanks to the generosity of the welfare state they receive 32,656 a year.

The Cromptons were provided with two semis knocked together by the council at a cost of 20,000. The couple's only income from paid work is 20 a week from eldest son Michael, who has a factory job.

They receive a further 628 a week in income support, disability allowance, carer's allowance, child tax credit, plus 120 a week rent on their seven-bedroom house.

A working parent would have to earn 46,500 a year to match their income.

The number of "Social Freeloaders" receiving benefits will rise to meet the amount of money made available to pay for them.
