HC Deb 10 February 1982 vol 17 cc389-90W
Mr. Rooker

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if the long term rate of supplementary benefit available to unemployed men over 60 years who deregister at a jobcentre will be subject to income tax after 5 July, in view of the long term rate of supplementary benefit being above the personal allowances.

Mr. Ridley

I shall let the hon. Member have a reply as soon as possible.
