§ Mr. Ieuan Wyn JonesTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Services when he hopes to announce the levels of personal allowances and premiums operating from April.
§ Mr. ScottThe rates are set out in the Income Support (General) Regulations 1987 and the Housing Benefit (General) Regulations 1987 which were made on 20 November1987.
As I made clear in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Salisbury (Mr. Key) on 3 November 1987 at columns 705–6, these rates are the same as the proposed rates announced on 27 October 1987.
