§ Miss RichardsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security how much will be saved from freezing one-parent benefit in 1991–92.
§ Mr. JackPursuant to the reply given by my hon. Friend the former Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State on 20 November at column108, I regret that some information has been found to be incorrect. The correct answer is that not uprating one-parent benefit in 1991–92 235W saves £23 million on the benefit itself but results in increased spending on income support, housing benefit and community charge benefit. The net saving is £14 million.
