§ Mr. BradleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the estimated saving to his Department from the proposed changes to reduced earnings allowance from October.
§ Mr. HagueThe information is not available in the form requested. The abolition of reduced earnings allowance in October 1990 was expected to produce savings of around £80 million by 1993–94. This figure will be reduced by the cost of claims now payable because of a defect in the legislation as referred to in the reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Erewash (Mrs. Knight) on 30 June at columns709–10.
