HC Deb 06 February 1992 vol 203 c241W
Mr. Andrew Bowden

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security if he will increase the £3,000 capital disregard on income support and housing benefit.

Miss Widdecombe

The limit below which capital is completely ignored continues to be kept under review, as with all aspects of the benefit system, but there are no plans to change it at present.
