HC Deb 02 February 1973 vol 849 c486W
Mr. Douglas-Mann

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services when the amount of savings to be disregarded on assessing entitlement to supplementary benefit was last increased; and whether he has any proposals for a further increase in the near future.

Mr. Dean

The present rules for the treatment of savings and other capital were fixed in 1966. We are keeping them under review, but have no immediate proposals for change.
