HC Deb 11 July 1983 vol 45 c268W
Mr. Alex Carlisle

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the reduction in net income of a family with two children as a result of the introduction of the mortgage interest relief at source mortgage repayment scheme, where the whole family is dependent upon supplementary benefit and the mortgage repayments are £100 gross monthly.

Dr. Boyson

Taking net income as the amount available to the family after payment of housing costs, there would be no reduction.
