§ Mr. Hodgsonasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what estimate he has made of the additional expenses that will be payable by the National Health Service as a result of the implementation of the Department of Health and Social Security circular HC(78)39 on taxation of allowances: and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. DeakinsNo additional costs arise directly from the implementation of the circular. It is possible that some changes in working arrangements may follow which would add to costs, but these are not at present quantifiable.
