§ Mr. DunnachieTo ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what assessment he has made of the particular effect of the Family Credit (General) Amendment Regulations 1990 (S.I., 1990, No. 574) upon families in Scotland due to the earlier conclusion of the school term; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mrs. Gillian ShephardThe amendment had no practical effect on families in Scotland or elsewhere since its purpose was merely to clarify the existing legislation and no change in policy or practice was involved.
