§ Mr. Pardoeasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what would be the net change in family income after tax, where the standard rate of tax is paid, if the tax allowances for children were replaced by taxable children's allowances, at the Supplementary Benefit Commission rates for 240W dependent children, where there are two children under 11 years of age, where there is one child aged five, where there are children aged seven, 11 and 12, and where there are children aged one, three and six, respectively.
§ Mr. MacDermotOn the assumption that these rates of taxable children's allowances were paid for a full year, in addition to the present family allowances, the net changes in family income after tax (to the nearest £) would be:
an increase of £4 a year (on the assumption that both children are aged 5 or over);
an increase of £2 a year;
an increase of £10 a year; and
a reduction of £10 a year.
