HC Deb 30 January 1979 vol 961 c362W
15. Mrs. Hayman

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services to what level the maternity grant would have to be raised to make it equal in value to its last uprating to £25.

Mr. Orme

The maternity grant was raised to its present level of £25 in November 1969. It would have to be increased to £73 to restore the 1969 value.
