HC Deb 18 May 1982 vol 24 c88W
Mr. McTaggart

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services by how much child benefit would need to be in-creased to restore it to its April 1979 value at current prices.

Mr. Newton

In November 1982, when the next uprating takes place, child benefit would need to be increased by a further 40p to restore it to its April 1979 value.
