§ Sir Brandon Rhys Williamsasked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will publish figures showing non means-tested child benefits for a family with two children aged 10 and 12 years as percentages of the gross earnings of the average production worker in each member state of the European Community.
§ Mr. WhitneyNo figures are available which show reliably the gross earnings of the average production worker in each member state of the European Community. There are no standard official data about the average earnings of production workers in member states of the European Community. Meaningful comparisons cannot, therefore, be drawn.
