HC Deb 29 March 1973 vol 853 c386W
Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what effect a family allowance of £2 for all children including the first would have on the numbers of children living in families where the family income from work is less than the current supplementary benefit level.

Mr. Dean

This would depend on the assumptions made about income tax and other matters. I am writing to the hon. Member.
