§ Mrs. Beckettasked the Secretary of State for Social Services what savings he expects to make from the nonpayment of passported benefits with bridging allowance.
§ Mr. ScottA person who would have been entitled to income support, and so to passported benefits, but for the proposed withdrawal of general entitlement from 16 and 17-year-olds would be entitled to those benefits on low income grounds while receiving a bridging allowance. There would therefore be no savings for this reason.
