§ Mr. Jon Owen JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what proposals he has to increase benefits for families of children with disabilities.
§ Mr. ScottFamilies with disabled children have access to a wide range of social security benefits, including, for example, invalid care allowance, disability living allowance and child benefit. On 1 December 1993 my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced that all major benefits would be increased in April 1994 fully in line with inflation, with additional help to meet the cost of VAT on fuel for more than 15 million people.
