HC Deb 15 December 1953 vol 522 c22W
15. Mrs. Mann

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if, in view of the admission of the principle of equal pay, he will announce corresponding measures of increased family allowances and, or, mothers' endowments.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I do not think that the grant of equal pay is necessarily and inevitably linked with an increase in family allowances and similar benefits.
