§ 27. Mr. Alfred Morrisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if the cut imposed by the Government in the real value of invalidity benefit will be restored in the current parliamentary Session.
§ Mr. NewtonWe have given an unqualified commitment that the abatement of the invalidity pension will be restored when the benefit comes into tax. As an earnest of that intent, we restored the value of the invalidity allowance in November 1981. No date for the taxation of invalidity benefit is fixed at present.
