§ Mr. Robin CookTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what is the average award of family credit; and what was the average award of family income supplement.
§ Mr. Peter LloydThe latest information on family credit is derived from an examination of amounts in payment at the end of February 1989. This indicated that the average amount in payment at that time was around £25 per week. The latest information on family income supplement relates to June 1987 when the average was £15.28 per week.
