HC Deb 01 December 1988 vol 142 c392W
Sir Ian Gilmour

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will publish figures showing family credit ceilings in 1988 and 1989, for(a) a single person with one child under 11 years, (b) a single person with two children under 11 years, (c) a married couple with one child under 11 years, (d) a married couple with two children under 11 years and (e) a married couple with two children under 11 years and two over 11 years, as percentages of their income support allowances, including family premium, free school meals and free welfare milk, but excluding housing.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

[holding answer 29 November 1988]: The information is set out in the table. The results for April 1989 are speculative as assumptions have had to be made about tax rates, tax thresholds and local authority rate levels.
