HC Deb 20 February 1934 vol 286 c176
40. Mrs. SHAW

asked the Minister of Labour the estimated cost of benefit at the rate of 3s. in respect of dependent children between 14 and 16 years?

Mr. HUDSON

It is not possible to say precisely what would be the cost of raising the allowance for those children only whose ages are between 14 and 16, but on the basis of the finance assumed for Part I of the Unemployment Bill it would probably be between £50,000 and £100,000.
