Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what consideration he has given to increasing the maternity grant level; and for which categories of families.

The provision of financial help for maternity, including the maternity grant, is one of the subjects which have been under review. The Government will be announcing the outcome of the social security review as a whole shortly.
