HC Deb 14 November 1985 vol 86 cc283-4W
Mr. Ralph Howell

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what the saving in public expenditure would be if child benefit was paid at full-rate to people earning up to £100 per week and at half-rate to people earning between £100 and £150 per week and no child benefit when earnings exceed £150 per week.

Mr. Major

I shall let my hon. Friend have a reply as soon as possible.
