§ Sir B. Rhys Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if it is his policy to harmonise social security benefits in Great Britain, particularly family allowances, with the general level current in other countries in the EEC.
§ Sir K. JosephThere are wide differences in the levels of social security benefits, including family allowances, between the other member countries of the EEC. The question of harmonising British benefits to a general EEC level does not, therefore, arise.
