Dr. McDonald

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish in the Official Report a table showing the most up-to-date comparison available towards the maternity grants and allowances available in other member countries of the EEC and those currently available in the United Kingdom.

Mrs. Chalker

The latest information on the maternity grants and allowances available in member countries of the European Community is contained in the Department's publication "Social Benefit Tables for Member States of the European Communities: Position at 1 January 1980". A copy is in Library of the House.
