HC Deb 07 November 1972 vol 845 c115W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether the £40 paid by his Department to Mr. Kesharlal Acharya and the £28.40 per week until March of next year is additional to the family allowances; and what the gross income of this family is at the moment.

Mr. Dean

No, because there is no entitlement to family allowance; the normal scale rate for a married couple over pension age, which is £10.65, plus the normal allowances for three teenage children dependent on him and quite a substantial rent.
