HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 cc118-9W
Mr. Meacher

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether an unmarried or deserted mother who applies for a family income supplement or is already in receipt of this benefit, loses such entitlement is she is alleged to be cohabiting with another person.

Mr. Dean

I would refer the hon. Member to my right hon. Friend's reply to his Question on 2nd February. Whether a new award could be made would depend on the joint income of the couple.—[Vol. 810, c. 302.]
