§ Mr. Carter-Jonesasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is his estimate of the level at which invalidity pension for a single person and a married couple should be paid without incurring any additional cost to his Department if (a) the period on sickness benefit was extended to 12 months, (b) invalidity allowance was abolished and (c) no addition was made to the current rate for child dependants.
§ Mr. PrenticeIt is regretted that the estimate cannot be made without disproportionate cost.
