§ Mr. Andrew F. Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many one-parent families he estimates are currently not on supplementary benefit who otherwise would be if (a) child benefit increase did not exist and (b) child benefit did not exist;
§ Mrs. ChalkerI regret that no estimate is available, nor is one possible without disproportionate use of staff and computer resources.

Bennettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services how many one-parent families would be removed from supplementary benefit if child benefit were raised to (a) £6.60, (b) £8.50 and (c) £11.10 and in case if child benefit increase were (i) 50 per cent., (ii) 100 per cent. and (iii) 200 per cent. of the rate of child benefit.
