§ Mrs. BeckettTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what would be the additional cost of increasing the income support personal allowances in April 1989 to the illustrative rates in the technical annex to "Reform of Social Security" (Cmnd. 9691), uprated to take account of changes in the Rossi price index for the periods taken into account in the 1986, 1987, 1988 and 1989 upratings and increased in respect of the 20 per cent. community charge contribution; and what would be the resulting personal allowance.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe personal allowances are set in the context of the overall rates of income support, including the rates of children's allowances and the various premiums. It would therefore not be meaningful to recalculate one element of the illustrative figures in the technical annex.
