§ Mrs. BeckettTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will provide, in relation to the personal allowances and premiums contained within the income support scheme which is to be implemented in April 1988, a list of the detailed assumptions concerning claimants' needs which have led him to arrive at the particular amount of each allowance and premium.
§ Mr. ScottIn arriving at the amounts for the allowances and premiums we have taken into consideration current levels of supplementary benefit, evidence as to the relative circumstances of particular groups, available resources and the commitment to compensate claimants for the average value of the 20 per cent. rates contribution that householders will have to meet.
