§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for Social Services by how much he estimates the purchasing value of the various welfare benefit payments will have been reduced this time next year if the depreciation in the value of the £ sterling that has occurred since June, 1970 to date continues.
§ Mr. DeanI do not think the question arises, because by this time next year it is our intention to have completed the next biennial review of benefits.
