HC Deb 14 June 1978 vol 951 c536W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish a table in the Official Report showing the level of saving to which a person has been entitled before deduction on its account is made from supplementary benefit payments, and the period of time during which these levels have been in operation.

Mr. Orme

Between 1966 and 1975, the level of savings at which supplementary benefit began to be affected was £325. In 1975 the figure was increased to £1,250.
