HC Deb 21 October 1975 vol 898 c120W
Mrs. Bain

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if she will now ensure that the child benefit to be paid to one-parent families will be disregarded for supplementary benefit purposes.

Mr. Meacher

Under Section 21(5) of the Child Benefit Act 1975 child interim benefit for one-parent families is required, like family allowances, to be taken into account in full for supplementary benefit purposes.
