HC Deb 22 December 1981 vol 15 cc383-4W
Mr. Freeson

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services, pursuant to his reply to the hon. Member for Brent, East on 20 November 1981, Official Report, column 262, if he will place in the Library a copy of the existing information held referred to in that reply on the treatment of maintenance payments to children whose parents are in receipt of supplementary benefit.

Mrs. Chalker

Such information as is held by the Department is on general files and is not in a form which could be placed in the Library. However, I refer the right hon. Member to paragraphs 10.12 to 10.21 of the Supplementary Benefit Commission's annual report for 1979. The principles described there have been followed in the relevant parts of the Supplementary Benefits (Resources) Regulations 1981.
