HC Deb 27 April 1978 vol 948 c676W
Mr. Kenneth Clarke

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what are the qualifications for, and the value of, the old-age supplement and the long-term supplement recently introduced for those receiving social security assistance in Hong Kong.

Mr. Luard

Old age supplement of HK$100 per month is paid to those aged 60 and over not already receiving welfare allowance under the public assistance scheme. The long-term supplement of HK$500 per family, and HK$250 for single people, is paid annually to those who have received public assistance for one year.
