HC Deb 20 November 2003 vol 413 c1339W
Mr. George Osborne

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions whether child trust funds will affect eligibility for Jobseeker's Allowance. [140381]

Mr. Pond

We are currently considering the precise impact on benefits; however, for most capital held in trust for children, money is disregarded when considering parents' eligibility for benefits.
