HC Deb 15 February 1978 vol 944 c264W
Mr. Grocott

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will list the support and assistance given under social security legislation to adoptive mothers.

Mr. Orme

There are no benefits payable specifically to adoptive mothers under social security legislation. However, apart from title to maternity benefits, there is no difference between the rights of adoptive and natural mothers.
