§ Mr. Woodhouseasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will raise the limit of the disregard of earnings which applies to one-parent families in receipt of a supplementary allowance substantially above the present figure of £2 per week.
§ Mr. Robert C. BrownWe recognise the importance of the earnings disregard to one-parent families as well as to other recipients of supplementary benefit. It is our intention to review this and the other disregards as soon as financial resources allow.
