HC Deb 10 November 1987 vol 122 c171W
Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland whether he will publish in theOfficial Report a table containing for Northern Ireland the information presented in table 7B of "Impact of the Reformed Structure of Income-related Benefits", published by the Department of Health and Social Security; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Needham

[holding answer, 2 November 1987]: Corresponding information is not held for Northern Ireland. However, the impact of the reform on individual claimants will be broadly the same as in Great Britain, with more help generally going to families.
