§ 40. Miss Quennellasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether, in view of the fact that the earnings limit for chronically handicapped persons was established at £2 per week in 1966, he will consider reviewing the earnings limit for handicapped persons.
§ Mr. DeanI would refer my hon. Friend to my hon. Friend's statement on 22nd March in which he announced that this limit, and related national insurance limits, would be raised to £4.50 a week. This change will be effective from 2nd October.—[Vol. 833, c. 1501–18.]
