Lord VAIZEY

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will publish in the Official Report the ordinary and long term supplementary benefit scale rate for a single person, a married couple, a married couple with one, two, three and four children as a percentage of (i) average earnings; (ii) net disposable income and (iii) final income for 1945, 1950, 1960, 1970 and for each subsequent year.

I regret that it is taking longer than expected to assemble the information requested. I will write to the noble Lord as soon as I am in a position to give him the information requested.
