HC Deb 14 February 1978 vol 944 cc210-24W
Mr. Andrew F. Bennett

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will now publish tables to show the boarding-out scales paid by local authorities for foster children.

Mr. Moyle

My Department has now collected details of the boarding-out scales paid by local authorities from 1st January 1978 and these are set out in the following table. A number of authorities said in their replies that they extended considerable discretion to social work staff to agree special allowances and payments according to circumstances, and it is not possible to reflect such practices in the table. The table shows as an aggregate weekly amount the basic boarding-out allowances for foster children of different ages which include additions for clothing and pocket money, though some authorities pay these additions separately and cover longer periods than a week. In some cases—indicated in the last column of the table—the figures also include payments for Christmas, holidays, birthdays or school uniform. A number of authorities are considering or have approved increases in their scales from 1st April 1978; others have already increased their scales since 1st January 1978.
