HC Deb 12 May 1972 vol 836 cc452-3W
Mr. Moate

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what would be the approximate cost of altering the rules for the treatment of capital for the purpose of calculating supplementary benefit entitlement to conform with the Government proposals for the treatment of capital for purposes of rent rebate.

Mr. Dean:

I regret that it is not practicable to make such an estimate since the actual income received by supplementary benefit claimants from their capital is not recorded.
