§ LORD AVEBURYasked Her Majesty's Government:
What proposals they have for restoring the purchasing power to the prison discharge grant, which has remained at £4 since 1964.
§ LORD HARRIS OF GREENWICHWe propose very shortly to raise the standard grant to £6.150, and the grant for those who are homeless to £12. We intend moreover to review discharge grants in future in the light of any movements in rates of supplementary benefit.
