§ Mr. Sproatasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what his latest estimate is of the percentage of those eligible for family income supplement in Scotland who take it.
§ Mr. DeanBecause of the smallness of the samples on which estimates of the number of families in Great Britain eligible for family income supplement are based, it is not possible to make separate estimates for Scotland. Roughly 10,000 families in Scotland are receiving this benefit at present.
