§ Mrs. Wiseasked the Secretary of State for Social Services whether he will raise the maximum amount of family income supplement which can be paid, so that the poorest families may benefit from his latest up-rating.
§ Mr. DeakinsThe July uprating was only an interim measure pending the main uprating in November, when, as my right hon. Friend announced in reply to my hon. Friend, the Member for Bristol, North-West (Mr. Thomas) on 15th July—[Vol. 935, c. 263-4]—we propose to increase the maximum payments of family income supplement.
