HC Deb 12 January 1988 vol 125 c243W
53. Mr. Nellist

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the numbers of under-twos otherwise eligible for attendance allowance but currently excluded by virtue of their age.

Mr. Scott

We estimate that there may be up to 3,000 children under the age of two years who might satisfy the medical criteria for an attendance allowance at either the lower or higher rate.
