HC Deb 19 December 1988 vol 144 c120W
38. Mr. Robert G. Hughes

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is being done to help families on low incomes.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

We are making extra resources of £70 million available from next April for families receiving income-related benefits. This is in addition to the £135 million needed to uprate income-related benefit child allowances. These extra resources will benefit up to 3 million children.
