HC Deb 18 May 1976 vol 911 c511W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what weekly family income supplement payment a man with a wife and two children will receive if his weekly wage is £37; and how much he will pay out in income tax and national insurance contribution.

Mr. Orme

Assuming the implementation of the conditional tax allowances, the man would pay £2.48 tax and £2.13 national insurance contributions weekly. At present he would not qualify for family income supplement but he would be entitled to a supplement of £2.50 a week from 20th July 1976 if the proposed higher income levels are approved. The information is based upon the following assumptions: ages of children, 4 and 6. family allowance of £1.50 in payment.
