HC Deb 10 May 1988 vol 133 c82W
35. Mr. Andrew Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Services what plans he has to reassess the £1.30 weekly contribution towards 20 per cent. average domestic rates included in income support levels.

Mr. Scott

Income support levels will be adjusted from April next year to reflect the average 20 per cent. contribution to the community charge. The precise amounts to be included will be announced at the time of the general uprating statement in the autumn.
