HC Deb 23 October 1967 vol 751 c345W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Minister of Social Security what is her estimate of what the average rate of family allowance per child would be, compared with what it is now, if all the present Income Tax and Surtax child allowances were divided equally per child.

Mr. Loughlin

The extra tax yield resulting from the abolition of the present tax allowance for children would finance a further payment of 17s. 3d. a week by way of family allowance for each child, including the first.
