§ 58. Mrs. Haymanasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether she will now give details of the preferential earings disregard for one-parent families dependent on supplementary benefit announced on 20th October.
§ Mrs. CastleAs I said during the debate on the Report of the Finer Committee on One-parent Families on 20th October—[Vol. 898, c. 67–8]—a preferential earnings disregard for one-parent families is being considered in the current review of social security priorities. I cannot say more than that at present.
