§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration is given in the payment of family income supplement as to whether families eligible for supplement include more than one wife.
§ Mr. OrmeI understand that the only effect of an additional wife on the assessment of family income supplement would be that her earnings, if any, would be taken into account in assessing the family's income. If the hon. Member has a particular case in mind, I would be glad to look into it.
